When you say put some TIM where the transpiper connects to the mosfet area, are you talking about the southbridge where I slide the 4 nuts, then screw a plate over the pipe?

I told him he should apply a little tim on that heat pipe so it makes a better contact with the mosfet joint its suposed to be in contact with.
