eagle, by ur statement I assume that you are suggesting that we start using impingement blocks on our gpus. blocks that work like cathars, the antartica, TDX, RBX, etc.

If this is what you are suggesting there is one slight problem with this. with two impingement style blocks, you would need to start with an iwaki class pump to get decent flow. a mcp650 or DDC would be brought to its knees with two impingement style blocks attached to it.

Over at XS we have discussed this at some lenght and thought it might be a novel idea to try but realisticly its not feasable for most users.

and on a further note, i really havnt noticed hte diff on my x800's oc between it running with in a 5C range of temperatures. 5C is the difference between a low end free flowing block like a maze4 and a storm block. and if im not going to see much of an increae in OC for the flow killing, why would i bother. I dont know if this is on a more wide scale, but i wish some people would test it.

to test it i would just put ur fans up on full (rad fans) and see how high the oc is stable, and then turn them down and let the water get a bit warmer and see ur oc results. I know that this is far from scientific, but its better than nothing.
