Ok well, I'll start off with the overall feeling I have regarding this product. It is IMO not worth the effort or the £16 premium for what this product does.
I applied the first pad/IET and ran the process for starting reflow, temps straight away hit 98ish accross all cores, this is normal accroding to the instructions. then your supposed to see a dip in temps before they climb up again, so I wait and wait and wait. by this time 10 mins has passed and I am using water block so it's supposed to happen quick , basicaly my coolant is now starting to boil!! Plexi block allows me to see this. get that pump on quick....!
So not confident that this has worked I dissasemble and check out how it did. Answer not too good only half the heatsink was re-flowed to coin a phrase. Also most of the metal had seeped backwards out of the assembly :O , So having another application I re did the whole process again, this time the only difference is I made sure the water block was evenly torsioned all round (by measuring the thread). So round 2 exactly the same thing happend regarding the reflow proceedure, blink and you'd miss it. So after I stared the pump again temps seemed rather good. I got my overclock going and again temps seemed good , got some Prime 95 going all cores in the low 60 to high 50's pretty neat I thought. But here's the killer I just was not confident that this had re-flowed and worked as it should have, I mean you have no way of knowing if it is successful the instructions although comprehensive don't follow true to your experience. So I shut her down again, and when I took the water block off It had re-flowed perfectly, Typical so I have just blown the seal on the one that worked!!
So having no applications left and having nearly half baked my lovely i5 760 (these things are tuff I tell ya) I have no more than experience and an expensive-ish experiment. Also some metal did get in and around the CPU socket but no harm done thank god. I have applied some NT-H1 now and guess what my temps are, yep high 50s-low 60s!!!!
Let this be a leeson to you all ....
Was an interesting episode but please stick to your IC diamond MX-series or AC5 what ever your poison.
