The block is still performing well. Right now with the room temp at 76 F, the processor is at 43.5 C.

Not bad for a 1.90 Vcore/1950 MHz. Probably would do better with a higher CFM fan, but I like it quiet.
I realize that this testing is "home-grown", but does show that the block performs as well as it looks. I hope to see Paul craft some other versions. I purchased 2 of these blocks that will be going into my project box, which is an acrylic case , matching bottom cooling enclosure, a built in 1.5 Gal. reservoir, blue BIX, and 1140 GPH Quiet One pump. The blocks will look nice installed on the MSI duallie board.
