Also, based on your first picture, that circle-outline makes it look like the thermal paste originally used was making very poor contact wiht the heat spreader.

When I mounted mine with artic silver 5 (instead of using the ShinEtsu G751 inegrated on the oem heatsink), i used plastic gloves and spread a thin film on the heat spreader and on the sink, very thin (use gloves to avoid mixing your hand/body oils with the grease/paste), and then used a pea-sized amount in the middle.

I’ve been running mersenne MPRIME 2.53 at torture test #2 (maximum heat) and I cant break 50C core temp.
