As a representative of a retailer, and not just an anonymous member of a forum, I don't want to get too far into this debate, but IMO there are far better ways to improve mounting consistency than filing down the bases on all of your blocks.

2/3 times with a bowed APOGEE GT/GTX and 3/3 times with a FuZion I can get the exact same temps with my plastic backplate, bolts, and springs. That means at most I'd have to do a couple mounts to get the best temps. To me that's worth not voiding the warranty on my blocks, and not replacing them every time a different sized die comes out.

Making a more consistent mount can seem to "yield huge temps improvements"... improper/poor mounts are a pain...if this seemly fixed it is a huge benefit IMHO

I think there will some benefit and the idea of a small bow with it seems real good...but how to create the "exact bowing amount" seems the biggest issue
