Default

a more correct description of that test is that their indicated temp changed 1 - 2°C

makes no sense at all, their first temps were more realistic
too many variables

but think on it:
if the TIM joint = a temp OFFSET of x°
then 2 TIM joints cannot be less than 2*x°, plus the conductance resistance of the shim's thickness

heating up air pockets ??
vs. gobs of grease ??? -> lower temps ?????

sh*t, can't anybody THINK ?
