My personal problem with the discussion is my inability to properly test the AMD TIM1 joint. I would LOVE to take a 939 and groove the IHS and wire it for diode readings and then just test with it. But I am not at all convinced I could use it for long enough to get any useful data before it broke.

Do you have access to someone that'd machine an IHS as per spec Bill? I can do the diode soldering and I actually have a spare 939 mobo here...
