I have read the thread, but seemingly mis-interpreted.
I fail to see the correlation between the AMD->core joint, and the performance of a waterblock.
If you take the same CPU, with its borked IHS... and test two waterblocks... the amount of heat given off by the cpu does not change. The IHS interface remains constant... whether it is borked or not.
ie: the amount of heat a waterblock can remove from said cpu... does not change based on how well the IHS is bolted on.
WB performance vs IHS problems?
I don't see how the two relate. I understand that it makes getting an accurate temp reading more difficult, but I don't see how it relates to the performance of the block.
Exact same heat source, two different blocks. I do not understand how the heat source being screwed up in some way affects the WB's ability to remove the heat.
