I have done it with a figure "8" shape before too- and it worked very good. Actually my old generic (AOC) copper cooler lapped with a 70mm fan worked just about as good as this new SLK900A that isn't lapped with an 80mm adjustable fan- I also used the same 80mm fas on the smaller copper cooler before I swapped coolers.. Actually the SLK's spring retention force isn't nearly as strong as the generic little copper cooler, and I don't thing it compresses those 4 little black rubber round things on the CPU- I think that's why my SLK900A isn't cooling as good as it could, not that it's doing bad now, but it could be better..
That's another thing to consider though, the spring tension on the heatsink.
