Yes, I fixed it—I misunderstood it. The stock IHS was consistently nickel-plated over copper. When working with CPUs, you can see the copper beneath the nickel. My 4690k model had exposed copper.

that was the cooler, not the heat spreader. what linus mentioned is the IHS, the top metal of a CPU. he asked someone from AMD, Intel, or a cooler manufacturer, who said the thermal paste caused only a small effect.
