I have a Z4 block from OCH....its the older version with the 3/8 barbs. I don't have a problem with the product or OCH. The block was well machined and needed only a slight lapping to remove some machining ripples.
It has excellent flow with a Danner 350gph mag drive using 7/16" tubing. I have a big radiator(mack truck A/C condensor) with 2 120mm fans mounted on it. Running my Duron 1.1 @ 1.90 volts and 8.5 x 150 for 1275 mhz ,chip temps are 26-28 c with a 22 degree ambient. Water temps run 2-3 degrees under chip temp.
I read the thread about the Z4 block having 1/2 inlets being screwed up.... I agree that was bad business, but hopefully that has been redesigned by now. The sump pump in the container idea sucked too....I may try something like that at home, But I wouldn't try to market it as a reliable pumping solution.
Basically... if you haven't bought something from OCH and been dissapointed...don't bust their balls just to join the bandwagon.

I have a XP1700 running @1700 with a thermistor installed with the tip touching the side of the cpu core. MBM reports cpu temps of 35c while the thermistor on the chip reports 47c. I tend to beleive the sensor I installed is more accurate,which only makes sense because of the direct core contact.
Unless you have a way of actually measuring your core temps,you are at the mercy of your onboard sensors and have to accept the temps they give you.
Wether you think my temp probe is screwy or not has nothing to do with the subject of my original post and I don't remember anyone putting you in charge of judging my credibility.

(As for the text in red: LMAO!!! Whatever...)
WTF? At least be consistant with your system specs.
Go argue how good CPUFX is when you get your stories strait.
Anyway you are all in luck as I will not be posting back for 10 or so days. Still on the road and connected at a high speed 24k in the hotel room. Bah!.....
