Albuquerque said:The shim itself isn't vital, the only problem is the possibility of crushing your video core ala an AMD processor. You need to make sure your choice of heatsink is attached firmly AND the pressure is distributed evenly over the core. If you get too crazy with it (ie unbalanced pressure or too much pressure) you can crack the core.
And that nets you a fully functional doorstop.
What if i put some springs from an old 8045 on the back? I'm assuming that would help distribute the pressure more evenly?
