I had this setup:

Dangerden Maze4
Hydor L20
Whatever the single heatercore they sell on DD is

I got about 10C over ambient, full load. 2.3 ghz, 1.7 volts

Now I have:

Dtek spir@l
Danner Mag 3
Big doublecore Bonneville heatercore

I get about 12-14C over ambient

My theory for this discrepency is I suck at trying to lap. Im pretty sure I didnt do a good job at the spir@l at all. My temps SHOULD be lower, right? At least the SAME, certainly not higher, as they are. Is it worth it to get one of the $6 lapping kits, drain my system, relap the block, and put it all back together? I just really dont like mounting the block...always feels like I'm gonna break something, either when screwing it down or when putting on the hoses (the spri@l has real bastards of barbs).

Thanks in advance
