nateman_doo ****!? quadruple posts?!
johnksss nateman_doo so you drilled and re-tapped to 8/32? I think that is as large of a screw you can get through the mobo holes. no retapping. just drilled it just enough for the screws to pass through. i drill out your tapping like a week later. i did not want to be turning the board over all the time. i just wanted to set the block on or pull it off. when i got my phase from shockthemonky, the screws we're a hair bigger. so i just drilled the holes to fit those screws. i use the ss backing plate because it's super thin and fits between 2 sheets of neoprene. so it no longer freezes up under dice. i have another one set up for a 775 board. Q56_Monster I dropped the eraser from the socket area too. Just running exposed bracket with vaseline. I dropped it because I could not get my HK block to make contact with the cpu. Even a hair of eraser was too thick. exactly why i dropped it. my temps shot up and i was like..wth! so the eraser is on the MB and under the socket bracket. and i mean i just glazed on the pj then wiped it off the tcase and now i use silicone heat transfer compound. that stuff works pretty damn nice...a bit messy, but it takes quite a bit before it hardens..i can run dice and that stuff doesnt freeze solid as a rock. before now that whole socket is fully covered in pj. so no water and my block sits fine with out all the worry of having to re fit it 5 times, before im sure it's ready for benching.
