you can always get out of the smaller fittings for cooling with a bigger discharge tube for the flow out of the pump and radiator if you have the pump to push it, ive proved this time and again with my pump fitting for my customers for their gardens, people have a 1/2 " hose and are flat out getting say 20 ltrs a min and the hose is bangin around like a snake movin, i put a 3/4" hose on the discharge, and show them the discharge in a bucket and timed in 1 minute and they cant beleive it, they get 30 ltrs a min and no hose bang, when the hose bangs around the pump is saying i cant get the water out , flow means pressure, no different to a computer set up, same principle, also those toplates you get from the chinese that say they do all platforms, yeah thats great but they dont tell you with certain motherboards for eg like my dfi x48 with a big NB heatsink the cpu block top plate hits the heatsink, so i had to grind and bend it up to miss the NB heatsink to avoid pressure on it to stop liftin it off the chip, and other motherboards to where it interferes with caps and stuff, and your link looks like its a chinese seller with the screws and fibre washers with it even tho it says america, and i was nearly gunna buy the same one for the abit ic7 max 3 .478 S board i just got but i was worried of the length of the top plate coz of all the platforms it supports, depending on what board you have itll fit snug on 1 but not another lol

If a vendor of a MB doesn't follow the space limitations that Intel/AMD put forth, it's the MB Manufactures fault and then we pay for it with non-stock cooling solutions. that's the kicker. if it'll fit the stock cooler, the MB's is "ok"...

I had a bigwater kit it was the first water cooling kit I bought then I read reviews and I sold it without even using it. I have still got one of those thermaltake radiators here that one come with a lot of watercooling stuff from fleabay its a 240mm one they are crap.

Here is the 920 clocking on water.
At Idle, the block was reporting 17 degrees.
Vin
EDIT; Here she be after crunching for an hour and a bit at 100%
Block probe is at 22.4 degrees...
Got to like that.

He's asking way too much for that. I bought mine in box new for 129$ at radio shack.
The therm probe mod looks nice Vin. I had thought of doing that too, but got lazy and just didn't do it.....

More on this. I took the piece of threaded plastic from the test hole, used gasket maker and then plumbed it in to a spare container. I then added a stainless steel strainer on the return. I would had liked to make it work on the inlet instead. Something to try one day. I then took a leap and added a probe hole in to the block. It was the only spot I could add where it wouldn't puncture the the water runner in the block. Vin lookin at your block set up vin looks like doesnt matter whats inlet and outlet, pretty much same as mine, the probe could go either side, is yours drilled in the inlet or outlet side of how you have it set up now, im wondering if there would be a diff in the temp readings from the block itself, im thinkin it shouldnt be but it might amd is pretty easy to put a small probe in on the ihs plate due to its cpu setup, you can rest it right on the side of the ihs plate, but its not right in there , a delidded amd cpu is another thing lol ,even thought of drilling through the ihs plate into the cpu section itself, but was worried of damaging when drilled if the height wasnt right and hitting something, intel is another cup of tea altogether, the cpu socket set up with intel has the SS lock down plate setup ,where its hard to get anything in to read temps, im gunna have a go at both on OEM boards with a nothing cpu and board to see if it would work, my sensor i have here that i was thinkin of tryin with it is just 2 wires with a tiny ball like a piece of rice size ball at the end of it, will be interesting to see if it works or not, you drilling your block made me think more of this to try get more accurate temps, im not a real beleiver in 3rd party temp readings, scotty told me moons ago , beleive your bios and i didnt, i blew the ep45t extreme coz of it, i beleived cuz voltage , which of course is heat, you can have voltage yes but if you havent the cooling to control the heat then its a done dinner as mine was, im prety sure of that, i was so pissed i put it away, and i did love that board, your mod made me think more about it, and i think theres more in it than whats thoughtfor temp controlling

Shane one thing to remember here is the temp of the waterblock is not really indicative of the temp of the CPU core look at Vin's second screenshot the temp of waterblock probe is 22.4C yet realtemp is showing 55c on 2 cores @ 1.248v if he had 1.45v going through the CPU the temp from realtemp would go up but the waterblock wouldnt change much.
Another example is with my pot at -55c in XTU with the 4790k I think it was @ 1.62v the CPU temp was 8c nothing like the temp on the bottom of the Pot. Its good to give a temp of your water though especially if you are running chilled water. If I was you I would just put the probe back in the bottom of the reservoir so you can make sure the water is at the temp that you think it is.
Vin you should be happy with that temp its good.

yeah pete i gotta get that other temp reading meter that suits that other thin probe i have that i usually stick on the cpu or water block, and the other one that usually goes in the reservoir to give me the water temp like i did b4, so i have a difference between the 2 to see then in front of me instead of guessing or relying on and going into bios and hardware monitor every time i want to know temps, itll be there in front of me, as you know i always want to know my temps because as far as im concerned if i see a sudden temp rise all of a sudden then i know theres a problem somewhere with something

I rigged a second probe for my home-made res. My Fluke has 2 inputs. when I go for benching, I plan on running both probes.

yeah i think a good idea vinnie, least you can get the gist of where its temps at between the 2 probes

Hey Vin!! Just wanted to share these pictures for you. This is before the acrylic replacement on the block. Pretty much all brand new to me and this same water block is used for benching to this day. Check it out! Cpu in this rig was a FX-55 fully lapped. The build was a gift to myself for my birthday. 01/16
