    No, only the pic I posted earlier after the lapping was done. The TIM was a light tan chalky substance that rubbed off with my finger tip. The die is about 5/16th" wide and maybe 7/8th" long and very thin, maybe less than 1mm

    If you just slap some quality paste on it then put it in the pc, it would run much cooler, when I build my daughter`s new rig I`ll do it to my 3570k and see how it does.

    It`s a shame you nicked it

    I think what I did wrong was trying to use the corner of the blade to get under the IHS on the first corner. You should use the center of the blade's edge and rock it back and forth.

    That sounds pretty likely and easily done chap...Have a couple of beers and forget it instead of kicking yourself though
