[Aleslammer]

I faced my 1283 to the rear of the case and it worked well, never tried it pointing to the top. The aluminum portion of my base was a little proud, so I lapped it with 1200 grit sand paper until I brought the aluminum down to the copper and used a X layout of the TIM. Did pickup a C or two having my fan in the pull postion over the push, used the pushpins, had bought the crossbow base but switched to a TRUE before trying it.

Here is a link to a site discussing TIM application.
