So, got up eartly this morning, brewed a coffee and took the card apart...again.
Reapplied thermal paste, closed her back up and ran Heaven Benchmark.
A lot better temps now then before
I think this is as good as I can get it. Going to now work on improving airflow in the case.
Thanks to everyone who has helped or replied to posts in this thread. I hope others out there who are attemptign to do the thermal pad change, learn something from my mistakes here.
