Default BIP.1 to BIP.2 ... not impressed

Hi,

I just replaced my BIP.1 with BIP.2 radiator. However, not impressed
with the temps improvement ... maybe 1-3C less than before. I'm
using the same fans as before (SilenX 120). I added the following parts
in the the water cooling loop:

Mcubed flow meter + water temperature probe

ThermoChill ThermoTube

Does anyone knows in reality how much temps improvement 120.2
radiators can offer ? (comparing to 120.1) Is something wrong
in my loop ?

I'm using the Swiftech H20-120 Rev.3. Generally, I found that reservoir
from this kit is noisy (loads of water turbulence and flow noise). New
ThermoTube reservoir is working like charm.

My system specs are
P4 3.0 @ 4.0 , ABIT IC7-MAX3, 6800GT @ 435/1060

Temps: IDLE 45C - 46C LOAD 49C-51C (ABIT mobo reports higher temps
than other ones)

Just noticed that Thermochill is offering now the PA160 ?

Anyone tried this one ?
