John Re..AMD is more worried about chips overheating with low-end heatsinks than getting the absolute minimum degC/watt for overclockers.<<<<<

Good point. I have a feeling both tcmay and Mani are correct, for different reasons. But both tc and Mani talked about the better connection to the spreader than one would ordinarily get with a HS; which is where my simple logic is getting hung up on. In the right press, with the right paste and pressure and shape, you are likely to get a better connection. I see said the blind man. Thanks.
