Old temps:
Idle->43C, Peak->49C
New temps:
Idle->36C, Peak->43C

Six degree drop, and this is using less airflow than what I had through my BIX (I had 2x120mm@12V on the BIX, I have a weak desk fan on Low blowing across the Lytron, not nearly enough air for this radiator). Due to the construction of the radiator, I still have large quantities of air in my system (probably in the top of the radiator), and I'm still trying to drain it all out. I expect my temps to drop another degC or two once that happens (that has to be very inefficient, lowering my heat transfer surface area in the radiator).

Now that I have my proof of concept done (the radiator will work fine), I'm going to pick up the first desktop case next week and put my first machine (the current one that is on) in the loop correctly with the water tower air trap, using just the 350 GPH pump I have now. Hopefully I'll have the second on the loop with a larger pump by mid December, and the third on by early January. Once I have the cooler box internals put together, adding another machine to the loop will be a one hour chore at worst. I'm really itching to get started.

BTW, it's been a while since I've seen pics of a system as ghetto as the one I'm running now. Even though it works very well, it sure is uglier than sin.
