Just got done installing my w/c stuff, and thought I would give u a quick review of this block. Had a nice air setup before, so I will use those numbers to compare.

old setup:

swiftech 462-u h/s
80m delta 68cfm
as3

new setup:

Little River - Rapids w/b
1/2 tubing
dtek h/c
via 1300 pump
ac3

This in a li lan 60 case (pain in the ^$#@$% to install the h/c) with 2 120mx38m 126cfm fans, 1 side in , top out. Running my rig at 11x210 @ 1.85v

prime95 Torture test:

old setup:

idle - 37c
load - 46c

new setup:

idle 27c
load 31c

As u can tell Im a happy guy. Need to improve my airflow thru h/c and I think I can drop the temps some more.

Those new temps dont sound right for normal watercooling. They are pretty low. Whats your ambient?

All of which tend to be rather useless with a HSF....

uh, id imagine its the same ratio as water wetter(1 to 32), so i put in like a quarter ounce very little just to the point it would be a slight yellowish taint, but you can always experiment for your self if your really bored
