here is my deal, i'm going to purchace an RBX water block for my cpu
i have currently a maze2, and shite piece of volcano 7+ laying around
how much of a temp drop do you think i would benifit from on my cpu, as it is the only block in the cooling loop. if i was to take an 85watt, cold side into the water loop via the maze2. and hot side aircooled with the volcano 7+, its one of those fangled thin fin copper heatsinks.
i'm looking for around 5c or 6c to make me happy in spending the 20 bucks on the pelt. granted the 85w probably wont pull more then 60 on a 12v line, do you think that air cooler could handle air cooling a 120w?

lets hear it guys!
