Ok. As you read in the last post about the maze2 block i said that my temps had gone up more than 10c to about 50c under load over my Z3 Copper block. Well i decided to put the Z3 back and see what would happen. My temps were maybe 1c or the same as the Maze2. I was baffled. I put the Maze2 back in and put new water and double checked contact and a good thin layer of artic silver2. Same temps?? I checked the temps with via mbm monitor sisoft utilities and my bios. All the same high temps. I thought hmm. I took my 70cfm fan and plugged it in and simply held it over my cpu area. after about 5minutes my temps droped to 32c. WTF !!!! Same with my Copper Z3 block also.To clear the block deal up the Maze2 is as good quality as my Z3 copper block from OCH. So what i am now trying to find out is if these are accurate temps. My motherbaord sensor could be messed up because it started happening when i swithced out blocks so something may have tweaked. Anyways my temps are back to normal goodness. I think i am going to get a temp sensor and place it on the cpu. Also a new good case setup for watercooling. Any ideas on good case that comes set for cooling. Money aint a thing too.
