Yeah I can't believe the stock heatsink even transfers any heat. The copper contact plate that is between the NB and the contact base of the heatsink makes almost zero contact with the heatpipes. What's more, it is like they just use CA based super glue as the thermal paste.

When I got mine off, the crap it left on the IHS was almost impossible to remove. In the end I had to carefully scrub it with MEK.
