Well, objectively the install is a success.
Some numbers...
With the H50 cooler (self-contained water cooler for CPU) on the proc, and the stock fan on my GTX 460...
Running "furmark" would rocket the GPU up to 80-90C in short order. It graphs GPU temp over time, and up to around 70 or so it looked like a shuttle launch - near vertical.
Maxing out the processor with a couple of instances of Orthos (to hit all 4 cores) after ~ 15 min or so I would see:
CPU temp: 55C
Cores in mid-upper 60s. ( 64-68 )
My GPU now does not go past 38C...even overclocked...
CPU temp after 15+min in Orthos (_and_ running furmark which puts the GPU heat into the water also):
CPU temp: 47, cores ~ 55-58.
After shutting off furmark, my temps have dropped to CPU 44, cores 53-56.
And that's with only 2 fans on the radiator so far...have room to mount 2 more.
Now we'll have to see if pumping that heat out of my office was worth it...it'll take a nice night of racing/flying to determine that.
