I'm worried about a d4 pump becuase i want to put it right after my blocks and before the radiator so that the water isnt heated by the pump. THe website states that it shouldnt go above 60 degrees C for the water. Do you think a highly overclocked prescott and raise the water temp to above 60 degrees comming out directly from the cpu block? thanks!

highest i've seen my water go up is about 3c-4c higher then the case temp.
when i forgot to plug in the fan it went up to 12c higher before my computer crashed

ur water shouldn't go over 5c of ambient temps as long as you radiator is efficiently removing the amount of heat coming out of ur components. if ur going to have a lot of blocks, a 100+watt cpu, along with a high heat output pump i would recommend ATLEAST a dual 120mm rad, with 4 fans (push pull) with a reasonable amount of airflow (like 60-80cfm each fan?)

My hot water comming back from the CPU and chipset right now is 26.5°C and my ambient is 20.9°C. I have four 76CFM fans at 6 volts cooling a dual rad and i'm getting 40°C CPU temp on a [email protected]. The question is, are you talking about water temp right from the CPU or right after the rad? Because if you meant right after the CPU, I have more than a 5°C differential and i'm getting great CPU temps.

My water's hit 60C twice, but that was because i wanted to run the system without ANY fans. It ran stable @ 72c LOAD w/1.9v @2ghz. You should NEVER have this happen to you.
