I really don't think you have a clue mate on the advice you are giving here. For my pleasure put a tiny piece of paper the size of a probe somewhere under ya heatsink and give me some feedback how it influences ya CPU temps... then try it with a probe and report back again (and give me an idea if the probe still works yes or no)
I'm THE tread troll, why do you think I have so many posts... if you can't see with your proposed solution that you reduce contact between the IHS and the heatsink, then it's a total waste of even commenting anymore... I've always been here to aid and look for help. My opinion is that just putting a probe between the heatsink and the IHS is not a good enough solution, just trying to persuade you too see the light here... if he want's to get the closes to the cores he might need to mill the waterblock a bit. Otherwise mount the block and remove it.. check where the TIM spreads and where's contact with the IHS, just put the probe as close as it get's, anyway these CPU's start to throttle once they go over their specified tem range...
Nuff said I'm moving on... do with my comments what you want... and if that 's the only way to defend ya statement(s) is too become a bit foul mouthed so be it... not my issue, but ya own...
