    Ok, I have the 1048 on order but now I need to figure out what to route and how since it looks like all my barbs are 1/4 and the eheim is 1/2... I endeed up reversing the fan last night and it dropped my cpu max to about 52 but raised the case temp- I'll need to rework the exhaust it seems...

    I don't see how the placement of the res would make a difference because its a closed loop. I can see how the slow movement will make the water drop to ambient and then rapidly reach max heat as it hits the first block. A faster pump it sounds like would make the temps somewhere in the middle...

    Ok SO CONFUSED now. Why is everyone reccomending a new pump since mine is moving water (even if slow) just fine right now? Back to thinking I need better blocks...

    Oh seems like you're right. Is there such a thing as too fast? Looks like the pond place has a couple options at about 300gph.

    My local pond supply shop doesnt have any eheim or hydor pumps- can I get pretty much any 30000hr+ pump with 1/2" fittings (for my 3/8 tubing) with > 150gph?

    Help me improve my ThermalTake Big Water Please

    Can you explain to me why its a flow problem eather than the heat echange problem? Doesn't all water end up being the same temperature no matter how quickly it moves in the end? I guess my main question is why is the cpu 20 degrees hotter than the water and why is the block hot? If i was a...

    the NB is cooling the north bridge... I was trying to go to just the rad/psu fans in the whole system. So picking this up will solve my problems...

    Water pump: 120 L/hr how does that compare? its really going cpu->vga(nb)->vga(ati) ... new pump?

    The fan is blowing case air (like 2 degrees higher than ambient) through the rad. So a faster pump allows for better block-> water heat transfer? Not the ripples and such in the block itself?

    I don't think is the contact with the blocks because the blocks get hot- I am assuming its the block->water heat transfer in which case new blocks are needed? Just guessing still...
