2. Nope, because i tested several blocks for a review i use always the same paste
3. yes, i just mounted the block for my test followed by 2-3 other blocks afterwards
4. Exactly, the sticker looks good and smooth.
Performance is very good
slight correction: you use the AMD cross-bracket exactly as is, with the AMD springs and screws. we redesigned the standoffs surrounding the GPU to protrude on the back of the PCB exactly like the stock air cooler, so you just take your stock air cooler bracket and use it to fasten the board to the waterblock.

Thanks a lot for your answer...

It would be nice to know also about which thermal paste is considered to be the best for this kind of "operation". Please have a look at your PM

@Gabe Would tou please tell us the thermal paste brand included with the Komodo?

Thanks!
it ships with Swiftech's own paste, TIM-Mate.
