My BIM had 1/4" fittings (even though it was specified to have 3/8" fittings), so 1 GPM coolant flow was a bit beyond my Eheim 1048´s capacity.
I replaced the BIM with a heater core and went up to 1/2" tubing, and of course, replaced a 32 CFM 8 cm fan with a 55 CFM 12 cm fan. The in-socket diod (for whatever that is worth) reported a 6-7 degree Celsius temp drop with same pump and same WB.
The BIM kept the CPU some 4-5 degrees Celsius cooler than air cooling in Prime95 (still referring to inacurate in-socket diod).
I would *not* cool more than just the CPU with a single BIM.
