I tried putting the Flame Freezer on but can't get it seated properly. It just dangles there and moves around basically if you even touch it a little. Maybe it's meant to be like that but I get that cheap feeling about it..

add some ceramique paste to heatpipe helps with temps and a more snug fit

Same here. I can hardly believe it does anything for temp.

I had some lazy (and too little TIM paste) when i installed the FLAME FREEZER first time. And it wasn't doing much good. I reinstalled it with a decent TIM paste (a good portion of it), and my system-temp drooped 3'C at Idle, and with a good fan over NB, now it holding under 60'C under primeload.

It is still dangling there, and moves around on the touch, but a good portion av decent TIM paste is doing a good job for keeping the contact and transferring the heat, i believe.
