Also I would expect it to perform a hell of a lot better than any air cooling. Not just a C or 2 or in some reviews worst than stock cooling.

There is another twist to this. Mounting pressures should always be roughly proportional to the mating area. Waterblock manufacturers spec springs and tensions with their equipment to be within CPU manufacturer specifications. If we now suddenly throw a CPU die that's >double the anticipated die size into the mix, then mounting pressures will then be half of what they should be.
Generally need between 7-10kgs of mounting pressure per 100mm² of mating area for good thermal contact. IHS capped CPU's deviate from this rule a little bit because the entire IHS area is not the entire CPU die thermal contact area.
