If you didnt clean off the AS5 and start over again, then you pritty much defeated the hole purpose of applying AS5 in that mannor... Lifting off the HSF and then putting it back on as is, would be the same as spreading AS5 across the Heatspreader to begin with.Jayce said:gave it about 20 seconds, then took it off. I noticed that it had PERFECTLY made a circle out near the edges, but not too far that it would spill over.
