No, no numbers yet. I did get the water chiller running again this morning though. Its mostly built except for the cold water blocks. I started it up and filled it with water and let it run for about 30 minutes checking for leaks or problems. Surprisingly everything went smoothly. I let the peltiers warm up, felt the air out of the radiators, nice and cool. After 30 minutes, the cold water felt icy on my hands, probably 10c or so. The hot water couldn't have been over 30c. It just felt sort of luke warm. I know that in the past, my other radiators got really hot testing like this.
So! My first results are that the two BlackIce Xtremes *are* better than the Aquacoil / CoolingCube that I previously had. How much better I don't know yet, I need to get the rest of the thing built and put some thermsistors in. But these radiators are amazing! If you want Aquacoil performance with out taking up half a case with the bulk, and have some extra funds, go BlackIce def.
More pictures coming soon, probably later tonight. I have about 60 on my digicam I need to process and upload :)
