OK, my magdrive 3 easily doubled my water flow. It's probably around 90gph. My CPU temp dropped about 1C.

I do have one more question. Isn't it true that it doesn't make any difference how thick one applies thermal grease? If the block is properly seated, then the excess AS will squirt out the sides. I mean, it's better to apply a thin layer so that you won't have AS all over the CPU die, but it doesn't affect the thermal transfer properties if the HSF/WB is seated level with adequate pressure. Comments?

Thanks for your help
