I have seen the imprint everytime I've taken off my block/HSF, my unlapped maze3 has them on it, my poorly lapped SK6 had it. the imprints are so perfect that I first beleived the stuff was painted/etched on somehow...

I always have used artic silver. do people who use non~silver greases see this as well?...

If the numbers/letters are engraved by lazer that'd mean they are burnt/melted in which would allow for speeling/burring would'nt it?, which would explain the raised aspects...

PS. My lettering has never been as regular/definate as that in the pic', mine looks like it was written with a blotty ink pen, some aspects of letters/numbers are thicker (prouder as well?) than others. if you run your finger nail over it you can feel its 'irregularities'...

If someone has a naked Athlon could they run a razorblade slowly upto and across the lettering to see if it 'snags' on the lettering, to see if it's raised as I think it is please?...
