I agree, test results are confounded many ways. First by running test for different time periods and burn in. Noticed how the temps keep getting lower after each test. Notice how mounting equipment got mix-matched. Testing procedures are important part of the testing as much as the testbed itself.

TIM cure time is important for best temps but it's not going to change temps were delta is by 30-40C range. Bill always said don't lapp Intel IHS. and I think that created some problems with the results. Once they change the gasket to convex the baseplate of apogee, the CPU inner cores got lower temps but the outer ones remained the same. Didn't Bill always said lapping an Intel IHS created bad contact patch.
