[QUOTE="rs1n, post: 9570400, member: 332500"] Post a photo of the thermal paste immediately after removal of the board. High temps after delidding suggests that you did not have proper balance on the IHS(es). I recommend applying thermal paste on the IHS first. Then rest them on their respective chips (no paste on the chips yet), and finally lay on the main heatsink. Do this with just the board and heatsink/metal shroud (outside of the shell). This will affix the IHS(es) to the heatsink. Remove the motherboard and then adjust the IHS(es) for balance. They should have adhered to the heatsink at this point. Finish up by putting paste onto the chips themselves and install everything back. This is the order in which I did my re-install of components. The first time I did it by putting paste on the chips first, then laying the IHS(es) onto the chips, and finally added thermal paste on top of the IHS. What ended up happening was that the IHS(es) became off balanced on top of the chips (not enough surface area to hold the IHS(es) in place). Thus the IHS(es) would "float" unbalanced between the chips and the main heatsink. Doing it the way I described above allows the IHS(es) to get good surface area adhesion to the heatsinks (resulting in good heat transfer) and you can easily adjust their balancing. [/QUOTE]
