I use Vista myself, so that is my only experience with it. I am still using that version because the last 10 I tried failed and froze when applying anything so I have just stuck with that one.

Not sure why it, or others, would fail on Win 7 though? Did you try XP/Vista modes, or run install as Admin?



I think I will be doing the same next time I remove mine. Using too much paste worked, but I don't like the idea.

I told Gregor about this, and suggested they need to adjust something either the screws or spacers.

How did you make yours thinner, just sand them down a bit?

Did sand them down a bit yes

One thing that I am a bit surprised at was EK doesn't ship with pads to have between bolt head and motherboard, when mount dismount mount dismount I noticed that film on electric cirquit was beeing thinner and uncovered electric path. Decided put some protection to prevent shortening.
