Bad performer?? I've read alot of reviews about it that say it kicks butt. Maybe I need to read s'more. I looked at your link but (call me stupid) had troubles understanding the graphs.
I've read that quite a few times but my northbridge seems to run
really hot. I have a temp probe inside the heatsink fins (not near the die) and it's about 52°C average. Is that normal? Sometimes it's so hot I can't keep my fingers on it.
That Tank O Matic (you can click on all my part names for links w/ pic's btw) has two tubes inside it. One is long and one is short. The long one is the inlet so the bubbles etc. are already near the top of the res. The short tube is the outlet so it's near the bottom of the res thus minimizing air going through the system.
That's good to know about heatercores. Those BIX's are pretty darn expensive. I'd never heard of heatercores until about a week ago so I haven't done a whole lot of researching on those.
Thx for the help
