Now Arne is going:
Screw standing up from plane of cold-plate..will make contact with 2011 socket. How much will depend on exact amount standing up.
Compared to alternative screw which sits down in the countersink
Compared to good design Supreme HF

Arne! Have a look at the pics i posted in your other thread. The studs on mine sticks out as much or more than what yours do.
Yikes! Twisted...take care mounting on 2011 if you do it.
M4 x16 DIN7991 are the screws you want...( This straight from Rok Dolinar RMA department).
I have taken the four he provided from my supremacy block, hand ground the heads a whisker on a whet stone and now have the perfect block...Supremacy EVO with fully recessed screws for socket 2011(-3)
and when it works...
Supremacy EVO idle
Supremacy EVO Prime
Same conditions as above...I think you can see minimum temps lower and max a bit lower too so another degree at least dropped...excellent stuff. After all the hassles...

Arne nice job!
I was thinking the same thing but I would have ground the screws a bit them polished the whole block with the screws to ensure a flat even surface.

Got some PK-3 today to see if there are any improvements over my big favourite (since Paw pointed me in the right direction) PK-1:
Better specs
And you can see how they've done it...by cramming in more nano dust and using less oil...
What this means practically, is it is not as easy to spread by any means...I found heating it up to be the best for spreading and in fact using it cold I wouldn't bother..too much hassle..PK-1 much easier to use.
Results at 28 ambient:
Idle PK-1
Idle PK-3
Too close to call really 25.08 and 25.16
Prime PK-1
Prime PK-3
Too close? or is there a small gap there...52.16 PK-1 / 51.83 PK-3
In the end the ease of use of PK-1 and the ease of spreading are going to get you a good thin layer and good temps...PK-3 you have to have your technique down..though if you do you might get better temps.
I'll check again in a couple of days to see if the PK-3 slowly spreads thinner under the pressure of the block and improves....

Thanks for sharing Arne!
Considering how off the thermal sensors in the cpu usually are I think it's to close to call. Sometimes mine show temps like 5C below the ambient temp 🙂
I need to get some of that good paste, I've got like MX-4 I believe and a 30g tube of white colored arctic something cheapo paste. I mean I've delidded and lapped the cpu(3770k) and used liquid metal stuff on the cpu die. and a 1080 rad. The least I can do is use good thermal paste, makes no sense when you think about it 🙂
