I am not sure which "New" block you have, but I am assuming it is either the 3/8" or less barb version (the ones where the channels do not overlap) of the one I tested in this thread (which is less than 2 months old BTW) or it is the Newest block that they ripped off from me and Fixittt with the one big channel? Either way that company will never get my respect for stealing other people's designs and trying to push a crappy 1/2" barb version to newbs that don't know any better.

What do you mean I got such high temps? I got average temps in this thread that match dozens of other peoples results. After I milled out the channel it worked MUCH better. You need to check the accuracy of your thermal probe. If there is ANY air moving behind the mobo or directed towards the CPU socket it will drop the temps 5-10C by the thermister as it will send false results. I got a fan pushing air down on the heatsinks on the voltage regulators on my Epox 8K7A and that fan alone dropped my readings 5C and it is off to the side of it, I take that fan off and it raises 5C. I know for a fact that the CPU really isn't changing that much as I have tested it with an external probe. If you do not have an external probe or the built in one in the XP core with a board that supports it your temps are invalid to begine with. Also you never posted your Room temps or water temps. My room temps are 26C and water temp 29C so it is very difficult to get much lower temps without lowering the room temps as 39C is only 10C above water temp in my tests which isn't that bad and is what I average which is better than most. And that is with accurate temps monitoring which most do not have.

Thanks for buying from a company that rips off other peoples ideas without asking them. Your support is noted and you poor reply with lack of real proof of your temps will always get people behind you. And thanks for pointing out that overlapped channels is not a bad thing that shows lots of proof that you have a clue.

How many blocks have you made and tested?[/sarcasm]
