    This is very helpful to me as well since I have been thinking to trade in my FZE for a Boreas. However, I am thinking now that I may benefit more by introducing a dual rad into my FZE loop and let the FZE chill the cooled water.

    One of my next experiments is going to be -

    boreas - block - feser quad - ST 355 with XSPC top - boreas

    I will lose significant flow going from 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch but worth a try anyway don't you think?

    well it's only worth while if your water temps are above ambient . if there below ambient then its counter productive . as in the rad will be heating the water up.

    well water temps are a little above ambient - not much - maybe 1-2C
    (Correction on this - after measuring the water temp in the reservoir with a digital thermometer, I believe the max water temp at max intel volts and max oc is subambient).
