As to the RBX being diiferent to any other block is byond me.. except for the fact that the RBX is a B**** to mount properly so it could be that will be impacting on the results.

NB: Homebase rocks! Only place I can find locally that stocks the right sort of modding paraphanial.

I can see from your rig stats that youve got an 1800+, are you using the RBX ? I guess I'll know if its mounted correctly by the temps ?

I guess we are talking about equal turns on all 4 sides to make even pressure on the core ?

What I am planning to do is cut a hole in the mb case tray so that I can get to the mounting screws for the WB from the opposite side, that way just need to remove a side panel and tighten away rather than fumble between all the pipework ... Doesnt help if I have to reseat the whole block though ...

Dont get me wrong, Homebase great store, redecorated my whole house using them saved a fortune with Spend & Save Just funny how package just says "3 Course, 3 Medium, 3 Fine", I had to open it to see what grade they really were !
