ok, my sys:

Athlon XP 1600+ (stock, for now)
512 MB PC-2100 DDR (1 chip)
Biostar M7VIB (newest bios)
Maxtor UDMA 60 GB HD
Geforce TI 4600 64 MB DDR video
Lite-On 16X DVD
Acer 56X CDrom
Lite-ON 48X CDRW
Promise Ultra100 TX2 controller card
Floppy
thats about most of it, except for NIC.

I made sure that the block is tight up against the cpu, it doesnt look crooked or moved around at all. I originally set it up like this:

A. From the pump to the radiators input, then ouput to waterblock, then out from there to the res.

but a friend told me to do it like this:

B. From the pump to the waterblock, out from there to the input to the rad. and output from the rad. to the res.

and that helped by 5 degrees Farenheit, but nothing spectacular.
