It has been in service now for 8 months . temps are great and it didn't care if dry or not now. Temps on CPU are steady and repeatable every day.. with the drying problem i thing someone forgot some long term fluid that keeps it flowing. Unhappy had to use a solvent, Happy on its performance even dry. cpu is a amd 980 black running 4.2GHz max temp observed is 46C after 8 months of use , cooler is a Sunbeam Twister direct contact HSF. Even with the dry paste issue I would use it again and have with great success.

Imho great performance with poor contact/least contact dependency kind of confirms that suggestion/claim for such usage cases.

I had seen in another review where you tested this water block in a horizontal and vertical position. I am using a RV02-EW case and for astetics (plumbing). can this block be mounted upside down? How would it perform? Very good review, I am building a new system with a CPU 370 and Sandy Bridge 2600K.
