Well, the whole nonsense is about isulating the core from heatsink by 0.8 - 1 mm thick layer of plastic. Even some claim that this is "special plastic" that "conduct heat reasonably well" it is still nonsense.
If you remember, earlier versions of nF2 has metl heatspreader. Then nVidia commited the "nonsense" (very polite word he used...) about removing it, as "not necessary" as my czech overclocking pal remember clearly.
It turns out that it is necessary to remove most of the stuff... In fact, before was my heatsink on NB cold. Now it is hot. Finally!
I can't wait to get serious cooling and try what can I now clock out of the recapped and lapped mainboard now
PS. I was at first really expecting that there is circle of cooper, under it is the real silicone core. Hitting the wires was shocking to me...
But I have to say that when I shaved so much of the plastic, I begin to worry that the silicone is, in fact, mounted on the bottom and that mean that I hit it directly, probably... I did not expected the wires, but yes, when one think about it, is is logical
Nothing ventured, nothing learned.
