ok here it is:
MAZE3 VS MAZE2

________
Hardware:
XP 2100+ (no OC), 1.85v
Epox 8K3A+ (133 fsb, 166 fsb DDR)
ArticSilver3

_______
Cooling:
3/8" system with 1/2" fittings on the CPU blocks and the Heatercore.
Becooling chipset block
Eheim 1250
Chevette Heatercore (shrouded with 2" thick shroud)
120mm Panoflo 103.8 CFM, pulling the air through the Core
~1/4 gallon with a 2oz:1gal mix of RedLine

Loop Config:
Rad > RESEVOIR > CPU > CHIPSET > PUMP >

both blocks were lapped to a 1500grit finish, and they used the exact same mounting hardware. and the springs were compressed untill they couldn't go any farther.

_______________
Temp monitoring:
DD5: first i calibrated the 3 probes so i could change the variance in probes when recording (only .5C difference between probes).

The CPU probe was stripped down so that it was directly touching the side of the CPU core.
The ambient probe was suspended in air, on the intake side of the heatercore.
The water probe was dipped in GOOP to waterproof it, and sitting in the Resevoir.

VCool is a CPU idling program used for the VCool temps.
IDLE was taken by simply letting the computer sit without any software cooling.
MAX was taken by running Toast.

Each Test was run for 30+ min to allow for stabilizing.
