Here is wut i did, i used superglue to cover the last bridge on l2, then i connected the 2 pins with some thermal conductive pen, i globbed it on too, got none on any other pins and superglue was confined. Wut's the deal? this is the 3rd one since iv'e tried, i thought i did this one perfect..... BTW i used sisoft to find out how much cache it has.
