Its just a thought, but with the pump upgrade , I see a reduction in tube size going to the vid block. I wonder if going to a larger sized pump would reduce the flow thrue the smaller tubes (Hence the whole "Water will always take the path of least resistance" there for introducing warmer water that does excape the vid card loop. Just a thought. Also having the pump at a higher location would increase the heat output due to it having to lift the water higher. maybe im totally off base....

Also I want to note that I am running a very small rio pump, and I can still get temps in the low 40`s C
