They are such a pita to clean though!
I'd look to things like Ir foils before going the thermal pad route. I have a method now for wb testing that I am pretty satisfied with (though there's some trial and error). I have it about halfway written up.
As an aside, have you guys tried tightening down wbs, loosening wingnuts a good bit, retightening past AMD recommended pressure, and then loosening back to recommended force? This seems to give me the best temperatures (I think I am forcing all the excess paste out in a little more repeatable manner regardless of initial application thickness)
