Very interesting.
The amount of drop from adding the IHS seems excessive to me, though. Since a thicker baseplate can be pictured as TIM-less IHS, those graphs imply that most every waterblock could use a thicker base.
The first run though of the more-detailed-die-for-Bill model failed. Seems someone left out a single character when scripting the IHS-WB TIM, leaving the block and IHS not actually connected. Simulation stopped when the die hit 1.4e+14 Kelvin (2^47, the highest number it handles).
Hey! You pulled off the graphs while I was replying! Now I'm all confused.
