But what are acceptable conditions? I'd consider 50C too high, while others may be willing to push processors to the limit (~80C) Anything above 2V is considered to be dangerous to your processor. Incidentally, a top end Opteron produces 89W and the FX produces even more.

75C-45C? Umm... As this is a steady state system, it's closer to going from 20C to 45C, unless you intend to be sending the water in bursts and in small amounts. 2000W assumes much better heat transfer than we get if you want a 22C delta T. With 2000W and a thermal resistance of 0.12C/W (block alone, as measured by Joe Citarella) you'd get temperatures in the hundreds...

That's an excellent idea, Cathar. Wow... That's just... Wow.
