Thanks musicfanGot the first heatkiller run done - performs solidly in the middle. I think the vram temps are good because the vram pads were so thin - the VRM pads on the other hand are thicker.
I added Koolance 0.7mm thick pads for the inductors/sense resistor type things as these weren't included. Now that I've completed all the blocks that have been shipped, I think I'll start on the 2nd/3rd runs. For the 2nd run I will keep the thermal pads on the inductors, but add on my new temp sensors to the back of the board for more accurate vrm/vram measurements. For the 3rd run I will remove the pads if they weren't instructed to be there. This way we get three good core runs to average, one good run of vrm/vram data with extra thermal pads and one good run of vrm/vram data with thermal pads as instructed![]()
