there have been many issues from customers experiencing high temperatures with their bundles
the problems are occuring due to people using a small amount of thermal paste.
when installing a normal cooler such as a Thermalright Ultra Extreme/Prolimatech Megahalems etc
this is fine:
the flat contact plate spreads the thermal paste evenly
with the Titan Fenrir/Akasa Nero, you need to get rid of the air pockets.
the only way to do this is to use more thermal paste than you would with a flat contact plate
an S shape on the IHS may seem like overkill but it does work better with direct contact coolers
you also need to bear in mind that the arctic silver TIM needs time to cure before it starts working well
also make sure the mounting hardware is as tight as possible to ensure good heat transfer
