I used an AC power supply along with a relay to turn it on when the PC starts. I have been running like that for a week or so. I just tried the pump now at 12 volts and oh my god, this thing is just too loud at 12 volts. I just finished gaming for like 2 hours and my CPU never went above 37C and it idles now at 33C (this is at 9 volts) not bad I guess for having Prescott at 3.9 and 6800 ultra at 450/1.12, running in the same loop that is. and b4 anyone tells me how the MB temp readings are all messed up, running the very same board and everything with my old Aquaruis III cooling only the CPU my temps from the same board were like 38C idle and 54C load.

I just don't get it, why in the hell would my temps stay the same if I am running the pump at 9 volts, it's not like I am unhappy or anything, I just wonder why.
