As If I Didn't Have Enough Problems Losing/Finding My Past Posts/Threads.............................Thanks Again EVGA!

Let them have it Mr. H  I am glad you got on board as well. As you can see, someone already started part II of your thread

johnksss

probably let the hose ride up in the res..(guessing)

Not even close
but i fixed the problem.  back to benching for the day

so what was the problem?

I will put it to you this way... I made Prestone soda 

Correction... cant have CPU go over 50°C
under that... fine

Well... the new Swiftech XT waterblock beat my old Swiftech GTZ by 10*C.  It was supposed to be better but not that much better.  I was trying to figure out what it was... so I opened up the old block and found this debris.  I guess I will have to try the old block out again after I clean it and see how much better it really was. 
 
One thing I love about the Swiftech block is the mounting system... you have to love it!  Also the new block's inlet can be rotatated 180 degrees providing more space between the 2 hose barbs which will be nice as 2 peices of Armaflex pipe insulation should fit nicely now.
 

damn, can't see the pictures at work. 

Another Power Predicament:

I spent 300.00 for the PC Power and Cooling 860W PS.  That gives me over 64 amps on that single rail, and I am only using just a PCI-E 8 pin, and 6 pin cable to power the primary 295 in the SLI system.

Now for that same 300.00 I can get an 1100W ABS power supply

When comparing the 2 PS's side by side I came up with the ups and downs, considering they both cost the same. 

PROS:
1.  More power: 83A, vs 64A on the 12 volt side (its continuous, not peak power)
2.  More efficient: 87%+ to my known 83%
3.  Modular: (i don't need all the extra wires clogging up the case when only using 2 connections)

CONS:
1. PC P&C has a SEVEN year warranty vs the 3 of the abs

Other considerations:
1.  Already own the PC P&C, no work need be done
2.  Have to shell out the $300 upfront to buy the new abs  from newegg.

Opinions? 

I thought you bought the PC Power & Cooling 1.2K?

I don't think you can go wrong with PC Power & Cooling... I will have to check out the ABS... that is the second time I heard of them this week.  Until now I have never heard of them.  The ABS is efficient... but the only thing that means is you will be using less power... it doesn't mean the power will be cleaner. 

I will have to do some research.

ABS = Tagan
