Fun situation around 5m

Define "fun" It was that video that finally inspired me to do it to mine, given that a regular compound replacement made no difference previously.

how did it work for yours?

GPU no change. CPU did reduce some degrees. No obvious difference in noise or performance, but I didn't bench enough to say conclusively. My working assumption is the CPU cooling had headroom the LM allowed to use. The GPU cooling may already be at capacity so increasing the interface performance didn't help.
