    If it were 80max, I would be OK with that. Max per CPU spec sheet is 95. I have seen the cpu when not throttle spike to 93 which is too close for comfort. I can play hd video at...

    Copper block is being fitted with 1/4" ID 3/8"OD plumbing over 1/4" thick copper block covering all chips.

    I will likely have to get some 1/4" barbs for the copper tubing. Looking like it would be...

    Currently waiting on the block to get shaved down at the mounting points so it will sit flush with the chips. Once all is said and done, two tests will be done. 1- 1/4" block only for cooling, 2-...
