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 !

Just noticed your internet server 2000+, I guess youve had more luck overclocking the 1800+ than the 2000+ ? Just curious as I have both chips too.

Nope using a Maze3 (ala sig), and yes an 1800+ OCs better than a 2000+... I managed to pull my 2000+ up to 1.9gig on the same setup as my 1800+ which acheived a 2.2g (the 1800+ a ''B core the 2000+ an 'A' core) - Both stable.

Get some bolts or locking nuts for the back of the motherboards so you don't HAVE to cut the mobo tray. I myself have actually superglued the nuts onto the end of the threads for my block (thus making bolts) SO I dont have to remove my mobo or cut my tray.

RBX:

You should see a big difference is the block is very poorly mounted but the wrong mouting preasure (maybe too much on one side) could not ony crack the core but give worse temp readings (Maybe not much but, still woprse temps give worse OC), the RBX because of its shape is very hard to to mount square, thus you should allways take the RBX results with a grain of salt when reading up on the block (unless of course the tester has take this into account.)


Homebase:

Look for METAL sandpaper (enry(sp?) cloth/board) for thoe REALLY fine grits... it will be in a different section to the wood.
