I don't think my block on top cooling is that efficient.... some explanation required..

You need to take that figure I got in the context of my particular system, that is completely fanless with coolant at about 14c to 16C when that screen shot was taken in 2002. 22C Hdd temp is nice but anything under 40C all thats' required really. To me it's 45C and over that's unacceptable...

I'm not using the underground tank cooling now due to a house move but still have 16C coolant atm.



This is using a large tractor Rad & fan (at 4v) remoted along with the pump, in the much cooler loft space of my house. This allows a silent PC environment but of course is only a winter solution....... in the spring I'll be doing a new underground system.
