Or lower than 0C at which point water flow no longer exists. You might then consider adding antifreeze. There really is no reason to bypass (or slow water down in) a chiller. Get low enough flow and the chiller will ice up and not be usefull. The pelt will draw more heat from a faster flow as average temp. in the chiller will be higher causing greater efficiency. People say that lower flow will help as the temp of the water will be lower when it reaches the cpu (and it will be) but this water spends more time in the cpu block too rising to a higher temp.
