Thanks Boli.

Could you please be more specific - you seem to imply, I should not be getting the problems I am getting.

My concern re initial installation are twofold: -

1. The "H" bracket would only fit one way and when it came to mounting the water block, again there was only one way to install it, given the orientation of the "H" Bracket and this was 90 degrees out to that shown in the manual. The outlet pipes are shown adjacent to the memory dimm slots, whereas mine is orientated so that the pipes are pointed towards the bottom of the case when the case is in it's operating position.

2. I have installed four SATA drives in the cradles and these are situated directly in front of the 2 Front Case Fans. I suspect not much air is getting to the radiator from this source - I guessed that the reason for these 2 front mounted fans was to cool the HDD system? I figured that the Radiator Fan itself would be sufficient for the cooling system. Further more my concern is not for the MB temperature at this moment in time - this barely rises above 30C

Given the above additional information could someone please help me further. The Aq II and the Xaser III surely were meant for each other - but is the Aq II enough for the 3.0 Ghz CPU ?
