My interpretation of Waterloo suggests that the spreading would result in a reduction of the c/w , even with a layer of TIM between IHS and HS.





TIM layer is simulated as 0.1x32x32mm of 10w/m*c material.

Might prefer a circular Die simulation.
For this Waterloo, additionally, calculates for Parabolic Flux distribution.

Edited and corrected.
Edit2 : Corrected "Kryotherm" to "Waterloo"
