I am building a gpu block to go along with the rest of my watercooling system. Today, I pulled off the heatsink to get a dry fit and found that the gpu was extremely convex. My guess is that I would only have a very little bit of contact in the very center.

I have two options: half a tube of AS and "low performance", or lap.

Does anyone have any idea how much material there is on the processor before I hit the core? All the threads and guides Ive seen are for GeForce4 era cards... Is it safe to assume nVidia hasn't changed their manufacturing processes?
