So I assume he's using a system where he can torque 4 screws down to
get an even and strong pressure across the entire CPU chip?
That is not the case with the 4 cheap plastic fan/heatsink holder clips that
I was forced to use.
I found that my CPU didn't pass the cooling test at 55% CPU and when I added
slightly more heatsink compound it did pass.
I also wasn't relying on a strong force to spread the heatsink compound evenly -
I spread it evenly myself with the spatula provide in the nano diamond kit.

He's actually a large company doing cases, heatsinks and cooling solutions for computers, not so much a "he", a major manufacturer of many things PC build related.
That heatsink retainer system is designed to hold a specified torque on the heatsink.

Since the custom computer industry has experienced an increased interest in products with RGB lighting, Corsair has added this feature to almost all of their product lines. In the gaming industry, Corsair has its biggest share of the market in memory modules (around 44%) and gaming keyboards (around 14%). |
Please disregard anything I may have stated in this thread, I clearly have little to NO idea what I'm talking about:

For others who may have pets and or dust, yellow and blue chucks make good filters which allow plenty of air flow but restrict hair flow. Cheap enough to replace as required.
We also do this inside some of our network switches, thin filter foam is also great but not so cheap.
