(The XPs should be no prob, they got that built on Temp. probe that shuts the system down at a specific temp.)
thats just my $.02....

If that O ring gets that hot the computer is on fire. They use O rings in car engines that withstand 300F. If your comp gets that hot the CPU will die and the comp will shut down. Then the water will just dribble a little because it isn't running or non of that would have happened in the first place.
Heat transfer will still be ok. Metal to metal screwed together at 100PSI or so will still get the job done. Most of the cooling happens on the bottom of blocks anyway.
Fast cooling a myth??? Have you ever held a aluminum block in your hand and turned the water on? It gets cold instantly, as to where Copper takes longer.
My head is killing me, I ididn't sleep at all last night.
Thanks for your input. I will work on it just to see if it will work.
