Yes practical testing is better but only if you have an accurate means of measuring the results.

I agree, I think the only way to test a system is to try it and see the results you get.

I have seen too many , this is right and that is right comments, what matters is does it cool your components to the level you need.
Whether it be OC 'ed or running stable at stock, as long as the temps are good who cares what way it is run.

I think that pump location is pretty good man, don't really think it can be mounted many other places.

Whats the point in stretching the hose? I assume you meant 7/16 ID stretched over 3/4" ID barbs? If thats what you mean, why wouldn't you use 3/4" ID tubing for the most flow.

because 90% of the loop is ~7/16 and so is the pumps ID.

Just popping trough. yeah pump placement shouldn't matter much. ofc there is a little more gravitational pressure at the bottom of the loop but while the pump is working that shouldnt affect it really.

Perhaps its better for start stops to be where most of the initial pressure is... Im just thinking of a submersible water pump, if you have it at the top of a pond/tank there is less water pressure trying to push itself in than at the bottom of a pond/tank. I'll try to ask my dad about it tomorrow and pm you if I find anything interesting :p

Uhm yeah~
I checked, and least two (EVGA dual socket MB and GF100's) of the items are not available yet; as far as I can tell. We are depending on you to get your hands on the newest hardware that is not for sale yet:)
What type (speed, ECC?) of ram are you looking for???

he just needs to know, how to be so "important" that he gets chosen, or how to find a tester, who needs money:laugh:
