I do not understand your statements regarding the mounting of the HK at all. For me it is the best solution I have ever had.

For all who do not know the details:

Is there ANY OTHER solution, where the seller tells you about how to get the best cooling performance? And it works. I have just cut a little plastic sheet to approx. 19 mm in length and use is for control of distance ... And I have only minor differences in every mounting.

The exchange of CPUs for benching is a easy job to do - in difference to the mounting of the Koolance-crap.

To put the loose plate (that holds down the Koolance) in place is an totally fiddly thing imho
