Just curious about this. I have a Maze3 waterblock and have been screwing around with different things. One thing I have been noticing when I remove the block is the center of the square of Arctic Silver compound that is left on the heatsink is very thin. There is a good amount around the square like it was squished out. It's almost like I screwed down too tight on the posts and all the compound leaked out of the middle. Can that happen?
It's never happened to me with my regular air cooled heatsinks without posts.
