Oh well,I just realized why there is poor thermal transfer from my IHS to EVO supermacy WB(delidded,liquid metal applied,everything below IHS makes good contact).It's because all intel's IHS aren't made the same,for example mine is shaped like a egg and it doesn't sit well at all with EVO supermacy block,or any for that matter.
Can anybody explain me how this works?What to do? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yeah,I just realized lapping maybe won't help,cuz this is so deformed.I think I will have CNCed from copper block new ihs and than Nickel plate it.What else can I do?Damn,cost of running this i9 just went up like 300$!Anyway,thanks for the help
