Hi,
I've recently installed a W/C system in my PC (DD Maze 2, DD Heater Core and Eheim 1250, 1/2 inch tubing/fittings) and have noticed something about my block.

It seems to be different from every other Maze 2 block I've seen pictures of online. The inlet barb is not in the centre it's most definitely placed further down (closer to the outlet barb). I bought two of the blocks (for SMP in the future) and both blocks exhibit the same barb placement.

This has me puzzled. Should the mounting position (with outlet at the top, or at the bottom) make any temperature difference? Can anyone using the same style Maze 2 block tell me how the have it mounted?

My temps are about 43c full load with a T-Bird 1Ghz @ 1.278Ghz @ 2.3 Volts (114 Watts). Should my temps be lower? The heater core is using a 120mm Panaflo M1A fan which is shrouded and sucking through the core. The difference between 7volt and 12volt operation is maybe a degree or two. I currently have the WB mounted with the outlet at the bottom.

Any thoughts would be welcomed.

No pics I'm afriad, no digi-cam. ^_^;

EDIT: Ambient temp is about 21c for the room and 24c for the motherboard.
