My experience with Gemini is very bad. I have two normal flow wb for for dual XP1700+ on Asus A7M266-D, and one gemini chipset wb and video chip wb.

After a couple times of pulling the hose, the plastic top cracks like hell. The first one was video wb, then chipset wb, then one of the CPU wb. I end up by making some alumni top by myself, but my seal using epoxy maybe not a good choice (the original gemini wb is sealed with silicon glue). One day I came back from work, and found all water are gone!!! The CPU with my alumni top leaks. :-( Luckily Asus has CPU overheat protection, the CPU was in sleeping mode and the temp is about 52C when I found all of these. I really should feel lucky since no hardware is damaged.

Now I'm ordering all wb (2 Maze-2 and one chipset, one video)from Danger Den, I need all copper solution! Is Maze-2 that bad? Please advise me. I can call danger den to change to Maze-3 with copper top before they ship.

Thanks,
dragon
