Man, mebbe I'm just confused (still hung over from last night ... dizzy and hurting).

DAMN YOU MARKETING BASTARDS FOR FSCKING WITH MY HEAD!

In the end, the coolant temperature will be slightly higher if the block is more efficient. Basically, if you have X amount of heat generated from the CPU, it all has to go somewhere. If the block is less efficient, that heat will be partially absorbed by other components than the water such as the block itself (i.e., having a hot block but cool coolant), the CPU packaging (god forbid) and the motherboard, etc. The heat has to go somewhere ... the chip doesn't get rid of it by staying hotter. If the chip temp goes down due to a more efficient block, the water temperature will go up ever so slightly.

The difference won't be that noticable, but the difference will be there. It HAS to be. Heat doesn't just disappear.

That make more sense?

Damn ... I need some meds. I think I have a migrane coming on. I'm starting to get the tunnel vision thing and these weird faded spots in my vision ... and damn does my stomach hurt. This has to be more than a damn hangover.
