Sorry, but there's always mount variation and if a test system isn't precise enough to even detect it, then the system is not fit for waterblock performance evaluation. Far too uncontrolled/imprecise to be regarded as anything more than 'anecdotal user data'.
dunno how you mount your blocks..i just tightened them to a point im just hurting my fingers... remounts are easy... i get the same temperatures..over and over...try real temp on the i7.

after mounting then logging temps...remove the nut...clean the block..clean the cpu..put in some paste...hand tight..the repeat the process...

easy as 1-2-3...except it takes awhile
