buzzby,

Quite simply the "T" connector at the PSU was specifically placed that way so the water WOULD flow mostly straight though and to the CPU block. The remainder of the flow goes through the PSU, GPU+RAM and the HDD cage.

If my restriction was higher on the CPU, then the other loop would get more flow, as it is now I need to verify the GPU load temps.

I'm going to build a temp sensor project that can be read by MBM5. The software's site has a link to the project to add a sensor chip to your existing motherboard.

This sounds like the best integration to me as I wouldn't mind having an internal sensor chip I could place whereever I want, with up to FOUR remote temperature sensors. No, these are NOT thermocouples. Yes, they are accurate enough for me. ( data sheet states ±3° C, which isn't too bad for me. Lee Hollis's article states that his turned out to be only ±1° C)

JFetting,

That was my thought as they are all grouped together in a rectangle on top of the radiator (ugly cardboard spacer box). I was afraid they might be fighting each other, I just wasn't sure.

When I get the two new 120mm fans, I think I'll make the box for them with a wall separating them, so that they both pull through separate halves of the radiator. That should help... don't you think? :shrug:
