Here is one for you. A little experiment I did this weekend because I couldn't stand the noise of my HydroThruster 500 wide open any longer.

I got the adjustable switch on mine which lets you turn the motor up and down similar to a fan controller. I have been running the pump full speed for a week now with my new pin block I made and this weekend I took some rought temps. I was getting 41C for the CPU pretty steady for the week. Being I did some gaming this weekend and my gaming rig is in the same room I couldn't take the noise any longer and turned the pump all the way down.

I was expecting the computer to lock up after a few hours and thought I would have to un-overclock the system. Well to my suprise the temps DROPPED 5C. :shrug: Don't know what to make of it. All the other variables stayed the same....
