Les
in your garland of many colors there is a assumption which I'm pretty sure is not valid
i.e. that the conductance across the TIM joint is uniform across the face of the IHS

this CANNOT be true
both in the 'unsanded' state as well as the 'sanded' one
- due to the IHS's flexibility and lack of support away from the CPU area, and away from the IHS's edges
- and note also that once sanded there is a thickness variation to deal with as well

this could all be modeled I guess, but not by me Thanks
