Not when a PC's built in probes are +-10C. 9% is a misleading number anyway. That is not what the difference will be in reality. Cathar stated he got about .5C better out of the Silver Cascade verus the copper. That is not a 9% gain by any stretch. Certainly not worth the cash spent on it for performance gains anyway. Simply a gimick targeted at the "my dick is bigger than yours" crowd or the "I am to ignorant to realize I just pissed away a small fortune on no real gain" crowd (especially the one's to buy a sterling silver block) to put it bluntly.
The money spent on this is better spent on other things. You would gain a lower temp by increasing air flow through the rad than pissing away $100+ on a silver block.
