I used this http://arvutitark.ee/prodpics/31/31870/original/39628.jpg which is just 0.3mm thick. I think the original pad sitting on top of the heatsink was 1mm thick so my 1mm copper shims + the thermal sticker aren’t much different in thickness. I did not however put any paste on top of these coper shims, maybe this was a mistake?

Anyways, I find the performance on the newest optimized bios to be good even though I really think XTU does not work for me at all. I think I’ve seen around 160fps in Legend of Grimrock when I pulled all the settings to low leaving the res at 1920×1200.

I think I might downgrade bios to the stock one once I find out how to do it properly just to see whether this makes any difference at all.

Mine came with a couple small air bubbles in different parts of the screen. Though it might have been the ‘other’ screen protector but I don’t think thats the case. Annoying as well!

I must admit that a lion share of the games I tested are pretty old titles. Seems that fairly recent games don’t have this issue. Still would be cool to understand what’s causing this =)

Hi Bonnom,

I did install the latest HD 515 driver yesterday evening after updating to the latest optimised bios. Doesn’t seem to change a thing.

Tried different scaling options too to rule out this causing the problem but this too doesn’t help at all.

Attaching a screen grab of how things look if i ALT+TAB and go back into a game. Seeing how easy it is to make an odd gesture on the track pad this is somewhat a problem 😉

Nobody else suffering from the same issue? i surely can’t be the only one.
