Hey can I preview my latest block in here too ?
This has been a long project for you iron, I just hope you get the grade you deserve.
Anyway, the weight issue.
It is an issue, as we getting heavy block, and since the mobo's are verticle, the CPU's top edge has less pressure then the bottom edge. Not to mention pipework and the water(dependant upon volume) all pulling on the top mount springs. at a guess 25% more force needed on top edge to creat an equal force applied over the die.
I have not read anything about these issues.
What i do find puzzling is the need for the mid section ??
