    Tape sucks especially if you use a heatsink/clamp method that flexes the board. Better to just run without mosfet heatsinks in that case.

    good start though it may take a while for your water temp to stabilize.

    If you really want to test for max temps on the cpu, run prime95 small FFT test. Set up is looking good man.
