CHECKING THE CONTACT IN CASE OF HIGH TEMPERATURES
If necessary, temporarily remove the water block to check for uniform surface
contact between the block and components. Pay special attention to the
VRM section of the graphics card. Check whether the water block makes
contact with the intended integrated circuit. Then repeat Steps from the
previous section to re-attach the block.
In case you fail to obtain good contact, please check again or
