It's over all great product but i didn't like the plastic stand offs to stop people from over tightning, i'd rather have molded on ones like koolance.temp seems great with dual rad im running and CPU GPU loop. used on my gtx 570.an awesome product

First the temperatures: It doesn't go above 52 degrees (when stressing it with furmark 1.6.0/EVGA OC scanner/ Folding/ Heaven 2.1) when the ambient temperature for my room is ~ 23 degrees. Idles at around 26-28 degrees depending on fan speed. What's bad about this but applies to pretty much all full cover blocks is that its extremely heavy. My graphic card is literally bending down after keeping it in my case for a month so I suggest everyone to provide a supporting mechanism. If you don't care about the price, I suggest the Powercolor Power Jack. Otherwise, use a pencil or something lol.
