I just tried your method with my new Megahalems and IC7. Right now I have my temps on idle at 6-7c over room temperature. Didn't try other methods so, I can't really tell if it's better than the regular way, but I think my temps are good. I will stress the CPU later on today when I finish with my work to cure the IC7 and see what results I get then.

+ Rep and thanks for the guide.

That is not bad.

It should be cured by the time you get to stressing it. It just cures faster when you stress it

But you may only see a 1-2C drop max....

Yeah now it's at a steady 6c over ambient on IDLE. I get 18c over ambient on load (stressing with prime95 over 1 hour). I will see later how this does when overclocked. I used to have it at 4GHz but i overwrote the profile that i had saved on the bios, and now I've been too busy to try finding the exact settings i had (had to play a lot with GTLRef to get it 100% stable).

Is this just for intel, or both intel and AMD?

both

did you ask mod to pin this. i was thinking this was an okay way to do it since its so thick!
