I got this block in anticipation of purchasing a 5950X whenever they're available. I'm also wondering if the adapter kit makes sense I purchased both so I have the option of moving the water block but I admit that it probably won't make a difference. I also wonder about the stability of pushing the water block to one side of the heat spreader on the CPU.
The instructions that come with the conversion kit also don't seem to show which direction to move the block or which side to put the new mounting brackets on. I looked at the product page and they have a little demo image of how the water block is moved to one side and based off the logo I attached the brackets. I hope I got it right.
