About clamping pressure. I read that article AGES ago. Like I said, I have a DangerDen Maze 2.2, have a look and SEE what it is:

As you can see, the coldplate uses the EXACT SAME mounting system. My pelts already HAVE that much pressure.
I have mounted the block without the springs to get better pressure from the coldplate to the chip. Not much difference. Maybe 1-2C under load better than with the springs.
Don't have time right now to mention the rad, but will check the review out tomorrow.
Thanks for all the input. Really like the shroud idea. I should have known to do that

But thanks!
