  1. Ok, so I installed the 2-piped HS and the temps dropped substantially. Was hitting 90C (peak) in 3DMark06 @ stock clocks and now I'm under 85C in Prime95 @ level 1. Level3 is a no go though, still hitting 90C+ in Prime95. I guess, the 4-pipe HS is a must now. Will continue the research and keep you guys posted!

  2. yes, the reason is with thinner pipes you don't have to flatten them and flattening on its own decreases the heat transfer. Ideally you have to keep them cylinder-shaped. So, even 3 smaller by unflattened pipes would increase thermal flow. And we are talking about extra modifications. First is to build a new bigger copper plate and submerge the pipes inside instead of simply soldering from above. Second place the other ends inside the radiator fins. We are still looking for the best approach that won't cost 10k lol

  3. i would rather pay $40 on ebay, then spend an hour trying to explain to the tech which part i want. heheheh

    Haha, very true. I wasted 2 hours yesterday just for the following: " The part number your are looking for is inactive in Canada and thus unavailable for purchase. In addition, installing this part in your system would void the warranty."

    And they are asking why do most serious businesses move to California, lol :)
