I like the solder brazing idea mentioned in the article. Filling the gaps with TIM seems too frail of an application to me. Filling it w/ some good soft 60/40 solder before lapping should prove more than effective.

I have a coolermaster direct contact that I'm willing to sacrifice when I have the time.

That'd be an interesting exploration. For those without the time on their hands, this should help with load temps.

Indeed. TIM is better than air any day

gonna have to try that and see if it makes a difference on my rig :D

Call me crazy... but that picture is not a Thor's hammer..

Getting ready to mount this one, and look.. 4 heatpipes! So going to have to see if its 2 or 3 strips they want :s

Going to try 2 outer gaps first.

You're crazy and yes, its not specific to the Hammer but you get the picture ;)

great article. Thanks for the link bro

hmmmm
