@ Mow - what version of Everest as well?

i'm using 4.50 Ultimate and it shows my temps never go above 45c load at 4ghz...

on the older version i had of Everest, it would never even reach 40c... it's hard to say with this chips as there are no really accurate temp monitors for them...

but, let me put it to you this way, a wise overclocker once said this to me after i bought his chip (my current e8500) after i put it in and i thought OMG it's gonna blow cos it was at like 50c or so... (using the wrong temp monitor and got worried i might break it...

"if it stops working, it's too hot..." - 's e t h'

@ Firestrm - yeah dude, this loop is serving me very well... i've had no hassles with it at all... keeps things running very smooth.. my 9800GTX + oc'd to 840/1250 doesn't even reach 45c under load.. :D

Hey guys, went through quite a few of the posts here, but I did not finish, thought I will just ask the question anyway:

I have a Vantec Stingray setup, and the pump is getting seriously noisy, and I don't think it is performing as well as when it was new.

I have tried using automotive antifreeze (quite expensive Castrol BTW) in the hope that the inherent lubrication in the antifreeze will help the pump a bit, but it does not seem like it...

Now, you guys know where I would be able to get a similar pump? It runs off 220V (which I prefer).
The physical dimensions are not that much of an issue as the pump is external anyways. As long as it is not going to be a 8 hour exercise to get the pipes to fit ;)
There are doorways I haven`t opened and windows I`ve yet to look through, going forward may not be the answer, maybe I should go back!
