[Cube] sonnet encore/st upgrade question - have I got the wrong kit?

Hi cubers,

I have just got hold of my Sonnet Encore/ST G4 1.2Ghz upgrade and Cube 
installation kit. However, I'm confused as to why there's a big purple heat 
sink and fan screwed onto the CPU board which is about half the size of the 
cube itself! It looks from the packaging that the upgrade is intended for 
the Powermac models and that a different product is needed for the cube? 
Looking at the install kit instructions which appear to resemble a haynes 
manual, the board looks identical - so can I safely remove the heatsink and 
use the bare board with the cube's own thermal transfer plate? The part 
number is SG4-1200-2M. I can't understand why the UK supplier, 2nd chance PC 
would send me the sonnet installation kit and then completely the wrong G4 
upgrade in the same consignment for my Cube?

Many thanks for any help/advice.

Stu
