In contrast to a normal cooler with only one surface between CPu and cooler, I had to mount several pieces at teh same time. It was a bit of a challenge! I tried to first mount the ends at the cooler, then put the pipes in the copper block at the CPU and then closing this copper block.
As can be seen in the lower right picture, the thermal pasted was quite well spread over the copper block (I had to dismount, but read more later .....). Also the alu sheets (I think it was 2mm or more) bended quite a bit when i tried to apply pressure to the blocks.
