Max,

I'll have to dig out the paperwork to give you the exact temp readings that we got with it. But just know that from our experiement we had much better results with running the cpu last in the series of blocks (gpu, northbridge, hd, etc... being first) than the other way around. The temp difference was almost a 14 degree difference if I remember correctly.

I was also in contact about DangerDen themselves about this very thing and they also backed up what we just found out. Now both of our tests were done in series and just the blocks in different order. I would now like to do a test on our best series config and compare it to a parallel setup and see which one gives the best temps. Also all of our temps were taking with the digital doc flat temp probes actually touching the cpu and gpu core for accurate readings.

I hope this helps max, I will try to find the paperwork on the actual temps, but if not we can just recreate the tests again and then maybe include a parallel setup as well to find the best possible config.
