    Thanks @aarpcard
    It`s good to hear, because I bought it (K5 Pro) too and I`m waiting for it to ship (for over a month now sigh).
    I will post my findings too.

    Especially with a putty like that I would press down firmly with your other hand as you are tightening the screws to ensure even contact.

    GPU temps do look kinda high. I am not familiar with GTX1080 SLI in laptops first hand. But, my single Clevo GTX1080 OC at 0.925V at 1,911Mhz will stay around 71-75C pushing BFV for about 2-3 hours straight. This is with a G-Sync 154hz overclocked refresh rate so my utilization will stay pegged at 98-99%. My GTX1080 is under liquid metal NO shim. Crazy I can cool such wattage in a 15" laptop I love this setup!

    100% right - wiggle and wiggle and wiggle... until it feels like it's bottomed out on the core almost.

    Just nice even pressure so as not to encourage air gaps.
