so good news first.
after several tests over 2 days i have come to the result that my block is on an average 1c lower than the maze 3.
my rig is a asus a7v-ml and does not show cpu temps in the bios so i had to use a temp probe on the side of the core. I super gluded it in place so i never moved when i changed blocks.
i tried to maintain a room temp of 20C while i ran many tests.
but i found that it reacts very quickley to ambiant temp / water temp. whe the maze 3 will hold temps for a little while and change gradualy. I pot this down the thicker base on the maze 3 tacking longer to warm/cool.
bads news i cracked the lexan top near the screws that hold the top to the base and it started to leak it bit. I have bodged it back to health but will test it for a while before i run it again.
