This point set aside, this is awesome. Don't you lose too much coolant though ?

(insert mad scientist joke here)
6 very quiet low speed fans with no "shower in a drain pipe" sound, my single sunnon 12cm fan at 7v is still louder than all 6 of these fans at 12v.

I loose coolant equlivant to the cooling that happens, about 3-4L a day, depending on humidity.

It's real fun to clean chamios from all dust and grime that you cant escape with an open system.
The waterflow out of each pipe is so low (especially now with the reduced flow from my direct die block) that without the chamios there the water just "beads" down the side of the pipe in a thin line, doing buggerall for cooling.

The layout of this assembly is similar to a swiftech pin heatsink, would one of them perform better with a fan blowing through the side rather than on top?

Now that it's been running for some time I've been surprised by the lack of grime and gunk that isn't all over the chamois, it all seems to be staying in the water, happy about that.
