Problem With Indigo Xtreme Application
I know this may sound noob, but I've failed twice trying to install IX and want some help.
I'm running an i7 920 with an EK Supreme HF Full Gold waterblock. Yeah I know the IX will algamate with it but meh, I don't really plan on taking it off often.
Anyways, like I said earlier, I've tried two applications yet both failed with the same results. I'm probably overtightening, but I'm not sure how tight or how loose to make it, I always tighten my block all the way down so that the threads on the springs are touching.

I've also read this but I want to see other opinions so I can try them just in case this one doesn't work for me:

That's just the way I have found to work best for me, other may have different opinions. As far as my waterblocks I tighten them down all the way down but loosen the bottom two a couple turns to help "direct" reflow across the whole chip and re-tighten them after the reflow. Again these are just the ways I have found to work best for me, others may have different methods.
