I have something to admit. I turned on the computer when the waterblock was still empty because my whole circuit had yet to be filled and the pump only turns on when the system is on. I gradually filled it with some moments of off time every now and then. I remember feeling the waterblock at one point and it was warm.
I don't think the mounting was bad. The swiftech is pretty foolproof and the thermal compound imprint was very consistent and spread out when I took off the waterblock.
