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)
How are you measuring the pressure on the mounting hardware?
