One other thing. I have been reading around the threads and mentioning that we need to heat the water before it enters the radiator in order to make the radiator more efficent.....

You're probably getting this from mostly my posts scattered around the board - but you're misinterpreting what I've been trying to say (and it really should be the topic for another thread)
Our rads run really inefficiently because we have a low delta temp between the water and ambient air. To get the rad to dissipate more heat (be more efficient) we need to increase that delta, but by doing so we also increase the temp of water passing through the CPU block, which is a bad thing. This is the basic water-cooling dillema - we need cold water in the CPU, and hot water in the rad, and in a typical computer cooling system, the water is within a couple degrees of the same temp everywhere in the system.
But I never said I want to heat the water - why would one start putting excess heat into the system that is not required. I want to move heat around in the system, I just haven't figured out how to do it yet.
