I've seen multitudes of people commenting on the poor contact between the NB and thermal paste because of high standoffs. If the NB reports high temps because of this in testing, does DS file those stand offs down or what?

 I sent a message, emailed and asked a sales rep about this exact issue and never got a response. I'm still kind of curious about this as well. One would figure since the issue has been known about forever that only old stock would have the problem.

I believe that's the case, as I've heard others saying they didn't have a problem .It's not a big deal anyway, pretty simple fix of filing the stand offs to the same height of the SB's and reapplying TP, for those who were wondering.

No need to worry about that. We monitor the NB temperature during stress-testing and if it goes above a safe threshold, we do re-apply the thermal paste and/or adjust airflow within the system.
