I upgraded to a 4-way cluster by adding a pair of the later 7010 headless microservers with the newer slab sink.
So I also noticed the air gap above the Epiphany. That's the cooler chip BTW, but I agree that it's a bit scary.
However, I'm using instead of the adhesive tabs. I applied a slightly more generous amount of the paste to the Epiphany than to the Zynq - so no visible gap.
Note: the paste is very thick - warm it under your armpit for a while to make it easier to apply. Your climate and body temperature may vary.
Cheers

So long story short here are some photos, static wise i'm earthed by an ankle strap to the bare metal of a fridge foot.
Now that I am aware that there is uneven/ziltch/no heatsink contact on the hotter chip I will need to get myself a copper spreader of the ideal thickness to equal this out. Do all owners of this board know that they are potentially looking at running a bare chip? have you checked yours? for those that this is ooold news, how did you solve this issue?Again for those that don't, go check yours!
That last pic: [topic] that damn air-gap/height difference
