Ok ive got all of my watercooling components in and running and Im getting 48-47c just surfin the web:mad: Im starting to think something is wrong. Im running a MAZE4 SHD,chevette HC w/ dual 120mm and shrounds, maxi-jet 1200, and el cheapo tubing with no kinks(1/2 inchID). Its just cooling the CPU which is a AMD 2000+ Palmino @ stock speeds. Its flow is running Pump-out, HC, CPU, pump-in.... When i put on my WB i just unscrewed the thumb screws until they were all loose and had max pressure on the block, and i also put new thermal paste on(not arctic silver). Well if u need anymore info just ask but i think thats all the importent stuff.

Well after just installing a maze3 SHB I can say it took me about 4 times to get it right. Doing the screws in different order and making sure the thermal grease was right was crucial. I just did it over and over untill I had it set right, if the maze 4 hold down bracket is anything like the maze 3, which I'm sure it is really close, it sits kind of funny and gettign it right takes a couple tries. It made a 10 degree difference when I did get it right so you will know. Just keep doing it and it works out.

I bled the system until i didnt see or hear anymore bubbles, and as for thermal paste i put a very thin amount on then got excess off with a razor blade.
