I was wondering which blocks will sit flat on a core without an IHS. I know the TDX and the 6002 need to have sanding to the socket edge, but what about the Storm or Apogee?

If you have to sand the blocks, you probably put it on wrong.
Wait, are you thinking you install the waterblock with the heatsink clip still on?

No, but I'm told the raised area where the lever arm is will make the blocks sit uneven.

oh, right, you need a block with a raised part for the cam box. i believe the swiftech 6002 blocks have those

Wait, what? I'm lookin at a pic of the 6002 and how it sits, and it needs that plastic plate that you mount a stock hs on. But, if you dont hav an IHS, and you remove the plastic plate, will it sit flat? Or even will it sit flat with the plastic plate in?

and i can tell you for sure that the TDX runs fine with chips that have no ihs on them. my friend has had his on some 3 or 4 de-ihs'd chips, with no contact issues. it will sit flat without issues.

None are made to clear the cambox on an A64. Some are made with a stepped base to clear the cam on a socket A but the socket for A64 is much smaller so I have doubts that will work. Whatever you do make sure you check clearance.
