Yes

Yes

I always check the deltas to see if the pot has a good mount. Going forward with a bad mount will get your cpu cold but under load it'll crap out and could result in a damaged chip during one of those spikes.

I say 3mm above the bottom of the holes because you just need the DICE at teh bottom to interact with the acetone to make the base cold. You save tons of DICE this way rather than liquifying all your DICE at once.
