Heatsink on Pump - Opinions?

I did some testing today.

The aluminum heatsink, while getting quite hot, did basically nothing to lower the temperature of the pump or the temperature of the water.

Putting a fan under it as seen below, lowered the temperature of the pump by ~8 degrees, and the actual water by ~2 degrees.

No radiator is attached to this loop yet.

Persephone has 4DDC's on her. :\

Atom can you double verify that the koolance 13mm compression fittings will indeed fit on the d-tek fusion.

no - these ones are the 10mm ones for the 3/8ID-1/2OD.

And they just barely fit themselves as you can see ... not sure about the new fuzion blocks though ...
