Perhaps a DQ, but what temp program are you using?

DQ? ... im using coretemp.

I just measured the water temp....its about 3-4C above ambient. That normal?

I think that's about normal. I'd see if pushing more air through your rad lowers the temp.

the temp i took earlier was with fans on 7v....it goes down about 2C with them on 12v

so its looking likely that iv got the wrong cpu block?

I got a bit bored today and decided id take some extreme methods to bring the temps down.

It basically acts as a res. the only difference being that I can put ice in it . Obviously I have to regulate the temp so no condensation happens but I thort i could be quite fun to play with.
