I’m a little worried about my Mosfet installation. Reviewing in my head everything that I did I can recall that (even though I read the installation instructions) I may have over tightened the Mosfet blocks! I looked at it and saw the board was a little bowed so I loosened them and then gently retighten them but I'm afraid that I may have squished the pads I cut and might not be making very good contact to the center Mosfet chips.

Just thought id elaborate a little on that and see what everyone’s consensus is.

Main points of my question are:

1. What happens if you over tighten the Mosfet blocks and bow the board?

2. Would it be better to use a single pad (like using the original from the stock Mosfet heat sink) or cut a bunch of little squares and place them on each individual Mosfet chip?

3. How much heat will the Mosfet chip generate? And will there be any symptoms other than catastrophic failure that will indicate that the water block is not properly cooling the Mosfet chips?

4. How much would a back plate help?

5. If I feel uncomfortable with the install, should I not power up the PC and go back and redo the install? (Everything is installed in the case and being leak tested so this is Last Option!)

6. Ware do you buy Mosfet back plates?
