Hmm... I flashed to the current BIOS a month ago or so, and my CPU temps dropped 15 or 20 degrees farenheit.

I'm using a Danner Mag3, and the only blocks in the system so far are the whitewater on the CPU and a modified Innoavatek graph-o-matic on one of the split outlets of the WW.

The pump is moving a respectable amoutn of water when I lift the hose out of the peanut butter jar I'm using for a reservoir.

I am suspecting CPU die contact issues now too. Can anyone offer advice on mounting a block like the witewater? I followed the destructions from the box and tightened each nut down about six turns past mating with the spring, compressing the springs a decent amount. It still seems a little spooky and wiggles a bit more than I'd like it to.

Is it worth the trouble to omit the springs and just carefully tighten all four nuts to make the block sit more squarely without worrying about sideways forces applie by hoses? Is there a thread about these kinds of mounting issues?
