Yes, that is correct (except for the 4XPro as noted). I look at it two ways: (1) You can try and use one consistent mounting scheme to test all blocks that will produce the same clamping force. This would be ideal for analytical testing of blocks - primarily of interest for waterblock designers. or (2) you can use the mounting hardware supplied with each block that will not produce consistent clamping forces but will better represent how a waterblock will perform on an end users machine. Eventually I would like to be able to measure the clamping force of the various blocks similar to what Joe C. is doing...
