Thanks for your reply. I guess my temps aren't too high, but I would have expected more out of water cooling, especially considering I have a pretty good rad with a high CFM fan on it. As for water temps I have no idea what they are, but from touching the tubes, it does not feel warm at all both coming out of the radiator and out the water block.
My roomate, who has an air cooled AMD Athlon 1.2GHz @ 1.75V sometimes gets temps that are close to mine. He's cooling his Tbird with an Alpha PAL6035 w/ Delta 60mm fan. Considering the NW have smaller transistors and and run at a much lower default voltage, plus the fact that Intel chips tend to run cooler than AMD chips, especially Tbirds, I would have expected much lower temps. Looks like I'll be getting a new pump, but it will have to wait until the academic quarter in my school is over. It's getting around that time when term papers and lab reports are due and finals are right around the corner.
As for a stronger pump, by how much do you think it will decrease my temps by? I read in a couple of threads that the Maze2 waterblocks like high flow rate. Thanks again.
