You can tighten a block pretty tight against the core, Dont let it go loose, especiall if you are putting thick tubing on it. One of the worst things you can do temp wise is put a lot of torque on the waterblock and allowing it to get crooked on the core. Not to mention the risk of cracking it.

2 evercool fans at 7v pulling through the core.
i know, i tightened it around 80%, looked at the board from the side, and noticed it looked like a )
so I loostened it to 60% (since the ONLY thing resembling instructions I could find was a review, and they said that 60% is the best tightness) the percents are for spring compression, btw.
i notice i didnt have this problem wtih the maze4. I tightened it all the way and it bent the nylon supports to all hell but it was completly tight and the board didnt warp as much.
so do you think that if I lap it fully and carefully, then do what I wanted to do originally, which was open it up and take a drill press and put a lot of dimples all over the inside channel, itll be better? i know someone with a TC4 and the normal heatercore, i dont know the pump but it wasnt anything spectacular, he was getting 3 or 4 F above the ambient by dimpling and lapping. the spri@l is supposidly better and, well, its what I have
