Moved my heater core dropped 2C

[markrb]

I have most of my water cooling on the outside of my case since I can't fit it in the case. I was keeping my heater core on top of the case with my pump sitting on the table next to it. I decided to move it today and within a minute my CPU temp dropped by 2C. It's not that big of a case either. The head was maybe 1 foot above where it is now.
I am just surprised something this simple makes this much difference.

The temp was good before considering it's an overclocked XP 2200 at 1.85V's. I was at 56-57C (diode) idle and now I am sitting at 54C with occasional drops to 53C.

well dependingon the pump, 1 foot of head can be a significant difference in the flowrate. good luck

Head isnt a factor when dealing with closed loops systems (I am assuming its closed loop).

My sys has around 6 feet of head.......and my flowrate is lower because of the tubing length,not the head.What goes up, must come down.The water on the way down pulls the water coming up.....like siphoning....
