[CUBE] Giga Upgrade/Thermal paste/Sleep

[Rod Clifford]

Seeing the thermal paste discussion since last week raises one basic 
question-
did the gigadesigns card come with a heatsink installed? From Anthony's 
original post:

"I didn't put any between the thermal transfer plate and the Cube's 
heatsink"

I have only seen a photo of the Powerlogix unit & there seemed to be a 
heat sink installed.
Giga's unit is different?
