This is PH with additional info and a question. I am concerned that I have a restricted flow problem already. I can bring the CPU temperature down some 4 - 7 deg C. (depending on load) when I point strong, 12cm fan at the Maze 2. The CPU temperature changes only about 1 degree when I add the same fan in series with the Black Ice (on the other side of the radiator, from the existent fan)and increase the air flow through the radiator significantly. To me that means that the liquid through the block doesn't take away all the calories it could. Adding another restriction (northbridge block) in series, would seem to make things worse. Adding a split would still make things a little worse because the pressure into the Maze 2 would be smaller, since part of the "current" splits to the northbridge (or Graphics card) cooling block. Is this theory correct? Please share your experience. I'd be very grateful. Right now I am inclined to cooling of the northbridge using fan with peltier, add a fan to blow at the block, and build a 1/2" circuit one day. Any comment on that?
