Hey, since I got a res, and the water goes from the block to the res, I can measure that. I'll see if I can pick up a thermometer today.

It's amazing how much tension those clips have. I actually had my rad hanging off the block and the block didn't move. So I'm not too worried about, but I do think of it.

You are seeing correctly. The amount of pressure produced by typical watercooling pumps is but a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of pressure required to get that tubing on and off. Like I said earlier, I had my rad hanging from that tubing. It ain't going anywhere!
