Applied in a cross pattern, fairly heavy.
BUT it is fact here and thats what matters to me.
I get better temps on my Q6600 with D7 than with ASS.
I completely understand your situation. You might notice that the results I just published in this thread (using a heavily overclocked P4) are different than those of my first TIM comparison article results which used a E6550 Core 2 Duo. IC7 was a top product in that article and received an award, but in this new article it didn't do nearly as well.

This is why I retested with a new application, and then retested again a third time. I only have one syringe of the material and it's nearly all gone... so perhaps it's a forumla issue? At this point though, it didn't do better than AC5 (with a 200+ hour cure time) on a stock socket 478 CPU cooler and P4 overclocked to 3.6GHz.
