I hope to use this thread as a compilation of sorts for peoples temperatures with certain unit combinations, but also to remove excess posts regarding Vapochill and Nventiv units on quad cores.

Major thing here is that stock Vapochills and Nventiv units are not up to quad core heat load. Many people see quick depreciation in temperatures after about two weeks, but more in vapochills then mach's. I propose this is due to liquid floodback wearing at the compressor and depleted efficiency.
Bottom line is, these stock manufactured units and even some modded ones are unable to cope with what we guess at between 250 and 275 watts of load.
Either much shorter capillary tubing, and/or a switch to a larger ID capillary is what we may need to start considering. As 5-6 feet of .031 is not appealing, I'm making the move to .036 for these high heat loads and using around 11 feet. This will let me subcool effectively as well.
Lets build up the ideas guys.
