So in conclusion:

Don't tighten the bolts too much... you may crack the core.
If you don't tighten them enough you won't get the best contact and/or your block may fall off.
Everychip/waterblock is different
Use trial and error to get the best fit for your block/core.

And I right?

I put just over 1 atomosperic preasre on mine i.e. it is as stable on its side as it would be upright. I don't think I need any more preasure both surfaces are in contact.
