Nemes1s this clamp is not what we want for bigger/heavier blocks.
First it requires the block to be sized accordingly. It's not the case with huge blocks like DD Maze2.
Next it relies on socket lugs. Mounting stuff on socket lugs is awkward and dangerous, to say the least, with such heavy pieces of metal.
Really the way to go is through those 4 AMD mobo holes, with 4 metal rods, springs, a backplate and a "frontplate" with a spring-tensioned lever. Did you say "sandwich" ?
