My 2c The reason spreading isn't as effective is because it does exactly the opposite as one might think, incorperates air. An accurate analogy would be spreading cake frosting which has a similair consistancy. It's spread to specifically incorperate air which makes it "fluffy" like a kitty...

Does anyone know exactly what this chip is? What it really does?

I'd recommend carefully removing the NB-HSF, clean off the Pink (gum based) adhesive/TIM, and remove the double-sided sticky shim (prevents any potential airflow down there). Use Automotive sand-paper (wet/dry 400 to 800 grit) and lap the NB-HSF smooth. You'll find the bottom of the Abit...

This response speaks to most of the replies above. First, I just want to clearify one misconception, I don't think I mentioned any "conspiracy", nor do I beleive there is some organized "plot" to withhold manufacture techniques from the public. I realize there has to be confidentiality, to...

I hear ya jmke it's just I already suspected that chip manufacturers aimed for the highest yeild possible, and then downgraded. And each time I postulated this thoery, I was criticized. So when I write an article which does not in fact expound that theory in the strict sense, but implies AMD...
