I'm not impressed at all so far. Got my block last week and went to install it on a EVGA GTX 280 FTW over the weekend. Today I reseated the block the 4th time w/ a similar result to the other 3 times -- I get 32/33/41 idle (so far so good..) but as soon I really stress the card the core temp is just rising until the core throttles.
Looks like the block I got is concave (checked it w/ a razor blade, also see the attached pic). I contacted Koolance via their pitifull little "web mailer" yesterday, no response so far (which doesn't impress me either).
Looks like I'll have to RMA the block, pisses me off w/o end (drain, hook old card in - 8800GTS on VID-280 - refill, RMA block, wait, start over)
Oh well, I'll let you know what's happening.
