I also have those cougar fans...great build quality, I dont know about lasting 300,000 hrs but they are nice

They posted temps and results, then culprit was not the TIM, but the black epoxy gluing the IHS to the board creates too large of a gap between the IHS and core. They removed all the epoxy and put the IHS back on without touching the TIM, then removed the IHS and tested with high quality TIMs between the IHS and core, and saw equal temps to high quailty TIM, and much lower temps than stock.
Granted, solder would be better than any TIM.
I think this is what he was referencing.

Thanks Kumori, that that looks like it!

Chuck I have another question if you do not mind me asking? How was the Coollaborotry ultra to work with? Easy? Hard?
Have you tried messing with the base clock settings/strap speeds and running a lower multiplier with a higher base clock @ the same overclock speeds say 4.5ghz to see if it makes a difference in performance, temps, Voltage in that does it need more or less to reach the same OC ETC.

Sqrt(159.8 ) = 12.64mm x 12.64mm => 4(12.64mm)(1mm) = 50.56mm2 => 159.8mm2 + 50.56mm2 = 210.36mm2 = 31.6% increase in contact surface area with the CPU die.
