- have parts of the mount attached rather than floating on top of the block (e.g. particularly not the raystorms, or the Iceforce though that one is not as bad). The apogee HD take that to an extreme by having the screws retained to the block when you remove it. I like that, except it's a pain to change the screws for a different motherboard
- has large thumbscrews that are easy on the thumbs e.g. EK blocks and not the mips block
So from all of that it seems like I like the apogee the best on mounts so far. BUT I haven't finished all the blocks yet. I have to admit that I like testing on socket 2011 because you don't have to change the backplate
P.S I'll be on number 11 this evening.
