Hmm i think the grain of rice rule for the "block" type contact plates is ok but with the direct contact heatpipes, apparently, you need to be a bit more generous.
Not sure if linking to another shops forum is agains the rules so forgive me if it is but apparently overclockers have had a few "issues" with customers complaining about poor results on their bundles and fenrir coolers so put this on their forum, pity they didn't leave the pics there too.
