    If you want to know if your heatsink is making proper contact, take the heatsink off and post a pic of the heatsink and GPU die with the thermal paste intact. Someone will be able to tell you if the paste is spreading properly.

    I don't have an M6100 any more. Sorry, I cannot check the screw size.

    So far everything has been running good thanks to you guys. Occasionally I'll get a stutter where sound skips
