I used very little force to the screws around the core. When I did it with a lot of force I got severe bowing. Since I don't know how much torque I can just say feeling. I used a small electronics screwdriver like this one https://eustore.ifixit.com/products/pro-tech-toolkit The I used 2-3...

Update from my side. Did a remount to eliminate the bowing of PCB and backplate. Used sausage application and Noctua H2 paste since it is a bit easier to push out compared to Kryonaut. Water temp at 36C and GPU at 55C and hot spot reaching 82C. Still a bit high but this time acceptable. Will see...

I thank you sir for posting this. I will remount my card tomorrow based on the current bow in my board and your statement! I'm sorry to say but wtf is wrong with this block? I had better temps running with the stock cooler than on water. And it feels like you're walking a very thin line making...

Did tear down my loop for cleaning and changing some other parts. Did tear down the GPU block for cleaning and mounting it back on. Used my EK torque screw driver (0.6Nm) and completely stripped the first screw. Did the rest by feeling. Got a serious bend on the pcb this time around the core...

Just dropping in to say that I have the same issues with this block. Started out with very high hot spot temps, close to 100°C. Remounted the block, same issue. Another remount and tightened the screws more, got the temps (hot spot) down to about 70-75°C. Still a bit high delta but I deemed it...
