yes its configured that way, here is the photo you asked for:

and i want to ask a Q i plugged my pumps using a 4pin to 3pin connector directly to the PSU and i noticed that the both the connectors are missing one pin but the pump has all 3pins so do you think that the pumps are not getting full power?

I say try a DD block still just to see if you have the same issue. I have a spare you can borrow. PM me u r addy again.

thanks for the help

It looks like it is not making contact outside of the areas i have circled.

Ill upload some pics of good CPU/Block contact.

I would have to agree with blue fire...

Here is what I am sending you (1/2 barbs installed, 3/8 barbs and mounting hardware in bottom of box):

If it works better for you then you can send back the Koolance block to me or you can get another block and send this one back. Does not matter to me. I referred you here, I want to see you have a good resolution.

Dood, still too much. If you get that much paste piling up on the edges (on your block photo) you've got way too much paste on there.

1) grab a syringe of arctic silver cremaique
2) Put 5 beads of AS on the processors IHS. One in each corner and in the center. When it comes to thermal paste, LESS is MORE.
3) Take a credit card and smooth it out on the IHS. You want the paste as thick as a human hair. The idea is that you want to smooth out/remove enough paste as possible. If you can see the surface of the processor, you have taken too much off.
4) Once it looks perfectly smooth/flat, no lines, bumps or smudges, put your block on.
5) Get the block on reasonably tight. Then enter your BIOS.
6) Go to the BIOS temperature monitor.
7) Start EQUALLY tightening down your block until the temp stops going down.
8) You're done.

I'd also like to know what your ambient temperature is.

P.S. NEVER put thermal paste on both the CPU and the block. One or the other. I prefer just putting it on the CPU.

thanks for your help DB i will post when i get it, and Backburn, i will try again and post back, and my ambient temp is 70F and i only put the thermal past on the CPU never on the block, thanks
