hmm i have been testing the block with a nice thick layer of silicone for about 5 hours now and no problems at all however it doesnt look to me like it will be exactly reliable so im going to make another with an o ring. ill put up some pics when i get my digital cam back
thnx for the idea tho but i dont think the vaseline will cope with the < 1mm ridge if copper seperating my cpu from doom. ill test it on a (according to #rotor "some what botched up job"... only playin rotor

) old block i made however
