See now people keep saying this. I believe it is a crapshoot. I must have gotten lucky and mine was glued down correctly or something. I tightened the 4 screws before I mounted the board in my case. I ran on air for a bit and saw temps up into the high 40's under load. Then I just simply plumbed the Fusion block into my loop and now the load temp never breaks 36°C and that's is when my ambient is 26°C due to the heat being on in the apartment. Right now, at folding load, with a 24°C ambient at 1.45v, my NB is at 29°C. I can't complain about the stock cooling TBH. It works well for me.
