The only thing about speculation... it that it is speculation. Frankly, I would like to see a heatspreader on an Intel shaped diesim. In fact, pop one off an intel chip and place it on it. Then test using a probe.

Cathar, your doing a great job given what you have at attempting to find the answer. However, I really don't know of a good reliable, replicateable way to test blocks using the IHS. While browsing I see you on many forums. Is anyone even attempting to account for the IHS on die sims anywhere else? Its funny that procooling guys fight to the death on the tiniest of details, however the completely ignore things that will definitely effect measurements even if in a small way.

Frankly the circles could be from coning it on circular lapping.. or resulting from being "punched" out while drilling the holes, or uneven application of the thermal paste. But that is just speculation.

Edit: Hey.. cathar. Could you place dots around the 12X12 area of the cpu. This way we can get a good look at your example. I was unable to determine if the heat circle was outside the diameter of the cpu area... if so how much. If the circle didn't expand outside the die area that would be useful.. if it spread by 20-30% outside of the area that would be useful too. I hope you understand why I am asking, I really have NO way to determine where the chip is under that thing from the pic without going into some abstract measuring.
