wow. glad i read this thread.
since I have an ES processor, i thought I might as well give it a try (since I have no warranty)
i got the same results as you! 10C drop on load.
i don't know if it'll help with o/c yet but let me tell ya it was a pain getting it flat.
my IHS was also concave like yours and the edges were the only parts touching the waterblock.
i had to sand down the edges more than the middle and after 2 days of sanding, i am now getting the middle of the IHS to touch the block.
i still have some work to do since the middle is now slightly higher than the edges (oops)
but even at that i got a 10C drop.
good read. glad i did it!
