OK guys I just wanted to put a message up here and let you know that I'm not dead (just busy with work the last few months). I am in the middle of getting 3-4 different projects going for the site including:

1) Complete cooling system testing with pH test system 2.0alpha: AMD64-based rig for 99% more modern computing.
2) Providing some test results to the modellers in this thread
3) GPU block testing (FINALLY)

And I STILL haven't formatted/posted the Crater-block review, my old school waterblock comparison, or (haha)MMZ-Timelord's system build. Speaking of which, did that dude die or something? He doesn't seem to post any more.

It's summer and I expect to have a lot more free time to dedicate to the site.

And who knows, we might also see Joe put some work in on a Procooling redesign to make things simpler to update and manage.

Now, if you'd given him you 6600GT you'd have something to bargin with (i thought you fried that?)

It got better! I took off all heatsinks, wiped it with ethanol, and dried it out for a couple weeks. Replaced thermal paste and heatsinks and it worked perfectly in 3 days of gaming/stress testing/3dmark looping. So it goes. Now the Asus NForce2 is toast

I have had a rough time with mobo's lately. Lost 2 in a week. One because it was just time and the other my own fault. Glad decent Socket A mobo's are pocket change these days.

Looking foreward to your new system test bench. Do you still want to do DIY blocks? If so I can make new tops to the 2 blocks I would like to send you for socket 939. Will be a long time before I get around to it though. Want to get my own system bench up and run them through and then tweak them the best I can before I send them your way. Then I am not completely shooting in the dark like the last couple blocks.

I would love to see some tuitorials or interactive graphs for waterblock construction purposes. I'm halfway through my block but all sorts of little things are holding me up and I would love to get it finished!
