Yep - Maggie attaches herself to the tile in the summer. Amazing she can still do the frog-spread, cause she's 16.

To answer a few questions asked earlier -

1) No issue with a vortex in the EK res, this is no doubt helped because I'm running Fluid XP+ Ultra - it's more viscous, bleeds quite easily, but temps are 2-3 degrees higher. Not a bad trade off for the colors. I'll watch for separation/gunk build up.

2) Temps seem to be okay. Low-mid 30's at idle on the CPU (now running the E6850, not the Q6600) with ambient around 25. CPU is now at 47-48 (using Core #0 and Core #1 readings from Core Temp 0.95.4). GPU shows 43 using NVIDIA Monitor. This is after running ORTHOS for 30 minutes. Note - I'm getting virtually the same temps with all fans set at 7V. System is very quiet, even with two pumps running right next to my ear - happy with everything so far!

3) New cable ties on order...
