nice!

metro, on the maximus board?
yeah, the thermal compound there sucks... the heatsink is glued to the nb ihs with some strange thermal glue. one guy at oc team denmark dropped his board 5cm to the table and the waterblock heatsink just popped off

and some other people reported the waterblock popped off quite easily too and the thermal glue was spread very badly, so there was bad contact.

can you replace the thermal glue and put thermal paste?
If yes then do it, and you should look for a thick 40 or 50mm delta on ebay
they call them "screamers" for a reason but they are unbeatable when it comes to nb cooling
