I just picked up another reference 6950 with shaders unlocked however I can't get the new thermal paste to transfer to the heatsink. Almost no transfer of paste telling me the gap is too large however I can't figure out for the life of me why this thing won't fit correctly. I did put a 0.5mm thermal pad in however it needs ~10% more fan to keep the same temp as another 6950 with good paste!
Nothing looks warped and I tried every possible tightening procedure. gpu first, backplate first, washers on the gpu mount for more pressure, nothing works.
What am I missing here, I can't believe something is not obvious and jumping out by inspecting the board/heatsink.
