I recommend getting someone to help you fitting it again, it's much easier if you are 2+.
Hope this helps

EDIT: If you are removing the TRUE just to do the washer mod, you should really lap it, it is very easy, even i managed  |
first ... sorry for bumping old thread but i didnt want to start another one on the same topic without pics
well i just did the washer mod ... and the big one in the picture was my small option and i had one 3 times thicker ( 3mm assuming the one in the pic is 1mm) and i used that one
my temps dropped 8-10C
while folding with 2 virtual machines my hottest core spiked to 70C and stayed at ~67C most of the time ... now it spikes to 60C and stays at 57C most of the time
Linpack loads at "only" 75C now
(compared to ~85C before)
prime loads at 62C compared to ~71C
so it was well worth it
now what i want to know ... is 3mm too much? some said 4mm is as far as you'd like to go
edit: after searching a bit .. i think my washer is just fine ... its something like
this maybe just a LITTLE bigger .. by a little i mean half a mm
