Got my xspc block yesterday and mounted it with paste on the cores and mem, stock pad on chip and the xspc pads on the other chips.
I have tightend the screws around the cores really hard and i have no contact issue. The cores idle at 31/34c load at ~55c.
So to all of you out there that is scared of this block i can say that it`s nothing to be worried about. I downloaded the pdf manual and followed it.
