stev: seems from the reply Lee got from Gabe that the top is sufficient for whatever Swiftech's in-house standards are (if any), and he didn't seem like they would be making any attempt to correct this issue.

regarding testing: ricecrispi has it spot on - we are testing WATERBLOCK PERFORMANCE, and as such the testing setup/system should eliminate as many variables as possible. If anything as an end user I think this information would be VERY valuable - for instance I buy a block based on die-sim results expecting better performance than my current block, and I DON'T see the results. What does this suggest? That (if I've mounted the block several times) my IHS TIM joint is not a good one, and I then have some options if I want to see better temps/overclock - namely remove the IHS or replace the cpu.
