Thanks. I ended up using some nylon spacers to take care of the problem, and I'm using 1/4" steel bolts instead of the ones provided. I also switched to a steal hose clamp, which helped too. My temps are just stinking lately, no matter how many times I reseat this thing, and my core imprint on the block looks even. I think drilling holes in the motherboard tray would make mounting a lot easier. A problem with this kit is that the spring diameter is too large, and that can cause the spring to scrunch to one side and not compress evenly. I put a flat washer over each spring which helps a little. I can't help thinking that there's a better way to mount this block

One question I have for you MAZE2 users: How far do you compress the springs. Do you tighten the nut as much as possible? Anybody have a good system?

Thanks
