The springs I got are rated at 16lbs an inch. They are 1 inch tall. My first mount I had them compresses 1/8" and the second was 1/4" and the third back to 1/8" and that is what I have on the 4th mount.

Mount 4:
14.75C.

At this point load tests might not be to usefull untill I get a solid system down. I am happy with todays results though.

Also I still got no answer to the question about the blocks mass? Seems to me if the block is heaver than the other then the CPU will be under more pressure if you use the same spring height? as the blocks weight will add to it?
