Default MY Al Water block

Sorry for low quality pics. I was in a hurry to install this WB and thus took pics via cell phone.

Running windows vista and idle CPU temp is 38C with system temp 30C and one 120CFM fan running at 5V (120CFM@12V). With full load (using CPU Stability Test 5.0 by Jouni Vuorio) the max temp I got is 55C (FAN at 5V, 24hr test) with system temp reaching 36C max.

Soon as load is taken off, temp drops to 42C and eventually 38C.

Using a Heater Core, MCP655. The rig consists of about 1liter of tap water (no coolant). 1/2'' barbs with steel reinforced plastic (clear) pipes.

Currently I am replicating the same design using Cu. Awaiting Comments.
