I see no reference in the parts list of the K144XV to thermal pads.
Neither is there any reference that I have read to thermal pads in the
installation instructions.
Sure, heatsink compound, carelessly applied, can be messy but given
there is an oft reported issue with heat and the K144XV it seems, unless
there are thermal pads somewhere hidden in the procedure, compound
between the aluminium slab wall of the K144XV and the K3 side panel
might be a something worth trying.

I believe the thermal pads normally used are just as good if properly
fitted.

Any particular reason why heatsink compound shouldn't be used between
the K144XV module and the K3 side panel?
