It's worth a shot, though if the H50 surface is not flat then only lapping will help.
The new version of the Cogage True Spirit 1366 has a really nice bolt retention. It goes tight enough so that you can't move the heatsink after tightening down. I used a bit less TIM the second time around and did 2 opposing sides first (instead of trying to tighten all four). I also made sure that I did 5 rotations on each side alternately while keeping the heatsink flat so the retention kit would evenly go down. Then I repeated the same procedure on the other 2 opposing bolts.
You feel the cogage true spirit is good enough for the i7 930??? I am putting together a build and have that for my planned cooler, but may upgrade stuff if it is useful. I was thinking of getting the venomous-x but it puts me further over budget. How are your temps??? What is you OC???
