Keep your TEC's, they're too inefficient. As far as your rant about water being stagnant (yes I can spell check), how far back does yours go? Mine goes back at least a year. While I appreciate free performance, no disrespect intended Vapor, but getting a .5c in temp performance is like getting 50Mhz more from your chip over stock. If HWBOT gave points for temps then I could see the purpose of the fine tuning for a degree or two, but since that is well within the margin of error and the results don't get you anymore performance out of your chip, I think it's like pissing in the wind. The blocks should have been tweaked at the factory, not here, not for a degree. I would like to see someone come out with a block that isn't just like the last block released. How about some more dual inputs, single output blocks? Or a block made out of titanium with pins the size of needles so you could have a couple thousand in a square inch area? I mean it would be nice to see someone take a chance on something different, make a prototype and toss it to the wolves to see what they think instead of just copying what has already been done so many times before that it's hard to see the difference besides cosmetics. No one has changed the way we mount the blocks, no one has come out with a true FC block that covers the CPU, NB/SB and mosfets, no one has tried anything new in at least three or four years. It's to the point that when someone asks "What's the best block to get?" the only reply is "What looks best in your build?".
Ok, I will now step off the soapbox and end my rant.![]()
