    Thats not bad at all... My NB is struggling along at 75-80 degrees stock cooled (FSB 400 V_NB 1.32). Perhaps its feasible combining NB and CPU in the same loop after all. I guess you are using a PA120.3 for this setup then?

    I was planning for a separate PA120.2 and Laing DDC Ultra for the chipset. Might have to reconsider this though, maybe it's overkill to do things this way.

    yes i was using a 120.3 for the cpu/nb

    putting them in the same loop is fine for a very nice 24/7 overclock..

    having said that when i tried to run some benchies, using like 1.55vcore i could notice the cpu load temps were definately higher than without the nb in the loop..

    but considering for me 99% of my pc gets used for gaming and not benching it was no big deal
