I got my system together and the cpu temp dosen't seem to be as low as it should be.
I built it all in a InWin Q500 case. I put a Ford pickup truck heater core above the P/S. Made a 120mm to 6 inch adapter for the fan. The fan is sucking the air through the core. I have a Danner 500 pump and a Danger Den Maze 2 block. The fan is a Sunon rated at 98 CFM/2800 RPM. I used 1/2 inch tubing for the system.The core had to lay sideways to fit in the case.
Before the temp. was 40 C with a WBK38 heatsink. Now it reads 35 C. This is using the in-the-sockit thermister on the motherboard. My thought was that because I had to lay the core sideways, the water is not flowing through all of the core. This is due to the placement of the inlet and outlet tubes. The 'top' tank's tube is on the bottom of the tank, something like this.

I had, at first, the top tank as the inlet.
Today I reversed it, and the temp. went down 3 to 5 C.
I was thinking that a Aquastealth cube would be better than this core setup.
What do others here think?
Or have I over looked something?

I just looked at the message and it removed the spaces between the vertical X's. Ugh !
Well I guess everyone will get the idea.
