Thanks Doc, but unfortunately with neither the 4870 nor with the 280GTX blocks did I have such note or washers.
If washers are needed, then the block probably killed the card since I re-installed the stock cooler, and the power lights were flashing instead of being constant, and the fan would barely spin.
