Thanks again! I have high expectations for those pads! So much so that I'm leaving the digital board out of the convection cooling path at least initially. That will afford me the ability to check via the GUI temp readings more or less exactly how well the pads work compared to before without convection influence. I chose that board because of its relative ease to get at being just under the belly pan. Once I have an idea of how effective "just" the pads are on that board, which on my 200 is the hotter of the two, I can then go back in later and very quickly open the digital board up to the convection air path without going deeper than just belly pan removal allows. Should give me a much more accurate idea of original OEM thermal pad vs new thermal pad vs convection cooling temp differentials and resulting efficiencies separately & combined. Its important for me to know and an opportunity I just couldn't take a pass on in my rush to get things back together and playing music.
