Tip: Applying TIM to HDT-S1283

[genzeleam]

I heard people asking question on several boards and how to apply TIM to their HDT-S1283. It's kind of apparent that there isn't a solid consensus. I applied some MX-2 to mine and put it on a Q9550. The temperatures are beautiful.

Take a look at the last application method on this page. Applying two streaks between the copper pipes works perfectly. I made my streaks slightly longer:

Just thought I'd attempt to put minds at ease.
