Jeremy, I'm gonna make a couple of assumptions by "reading in between the lines" of your email: 1. You're using no-clean paste. 2. This is only happening on the second side. You tell me if I'm wrong about this... First thing, if you're only experienc

If you have control over your design (as in an OEM) ENTEK can be a managable alternative. IF your like me (a CM), you get one of everything ever imagined. There has been much ado with ENTEK. Not every product is apropriate. For instance I have cu
