So you have applied the 0.5 mm thick tape even to the "indents" for the GPU and the Northbridge? Will the rest of the tape covered spots still be in contact with the metal plate then? Maybe you have been useing different grades...

G-Omaha (or ist it Gary?), Yes, I am familiar with the threads you refer to. Both Inkling and I are a bit confused over the fact that the GPU and Northbridge has no thermal compound at all. Maybe the greyish dirt on top of the GPU is...
