I found the NB was not making any contact at all, even after a tried a few more times thinking it was going to break. So you are using the EK Full block then right?

I had to put way to much paste on for it to make contact, you know like the amount you would find used on stock GFX Cooling heatsinks (TOO MUCH). Then it was fine and made contact and temps are now good

I just checked EK UD7 fullboard cooler and it didn't have good thermal contact with ICH10R, made spacer about fraction of mm thinner on all spacers and made full connection
