i might give that a try dave... i did manage to find a hair after i took the system apart from the leak test i did... although i don't know if its still nessicary as i'm seeing, based on what everyone has told me, normal load temps. after doing about 30 mins of prime 95 (large ffts to get max heat dissipation from the cpu) the cpu gets between 91F and 95F (between 32-35C)... which.. i think... seems about right.

to save myself the headache of taking the block apart what should i expect in terms of flow rate from the mag pumps? and whats the easiest way to measure the flow rate in my system?

in mother board monitor i'm getting a rpm reading from where the mag pump is connected to the the mobo but i don't know if its anything meaningful. can that be used for the flow rate?
