My washer mod thingy. I used the largest washer I could get. Also I lapped the TRUE. 8c+ temp drop, so I am happy.

Did you put thermal paste on the bottom of it? And that's no washer, it's a weight at the least!

From HappyTrue: ''Also, get some mini-heatsinks for it. You went that far, why not all the way?''
