Did I err? Either way I go with that I'll get shit I think.
Well you have to leave it on simply for mounting issues if nothing else. I think this whole base flexing thing is shit myself. Bill suggests it is PR BS yet Roscal claims Swiftech is honest. The two don't add up. Then there is the TTV issue Cathar brought up which is hard to dismiss.

I am going with the die sim as I am more interested in actual performance as opposed to system performance. Let's face it, it dosn't matter what top 5 blocks you use they will all be well within the error margins of the onboard temp monitors not to mention mounting issues and flexing IHS and bases and blah blah.....
