What were you trying to show us? There doesn't appear to be anything
revolutionary about it.

Not too keen on the idea of connecting the waterblocks in series, as the
second CPU in the circuit will end up running hotter than the first; what
temperatures do you notice?

Anyway, less about Xeons, you'll wake Denny the Dunce up.

when running both cpus at 100%, the max temp I get is 40 C on the first cpu,
and 41 C on the second.

Before I was getting up to 63 C and a lot of noise.

The Zalman works really great for overclocked Xeon (2.8 boosted at 3.2)

I will try on another server (3.06 boosted at 3.6) next week... waiting to
receive the Zalman

Has anybody heard of accidental liquid spills while cooler
is installed on the motherboard? I have been toying around
replacing my air cooler with a liquid one. If there is
anything as a spill-safe liquid cooler, I'd be happy to
know. Thanks.

if you installed it right, checked the systems for leaks for 30 minutes
before powering up the pc, you should not have any problem.

if you are really paranoid, you could use di-electric oil (oil used to cool
high power electric transformers)... but get 2 pumps

There are several "safe" coolants out there that are categorised as
non-conductive. FluidXP & MCT are the top two at the moment...
however, having witnessed plenty of drowned rigs I can safely say that
regular distilled water with a suitable additive doesn't cause any
damage if handled correctly.

As soon as a spillage occurs, you'll know if the rig is on - generally
artefacts from graphics card as water tends to drip downwards and
that's the first surface it hits. Power off immediately. Remove
anything that's gotten wet, dab off excess with toilet roll, place
somewhere warm and dry and leave it there for 3 days. After 3 days in
an airing cupboard, all moisture will have dried from between the
layers and the card should be safe and fine to use again. I've done
this with Graphics Cards, motherboards, processors, powersupplies,
hard-drives... never had a terminal case yet.

Many topics on the issue over at the forums at www.over-clock.com/ivb

In many tests it has been shown that the tradeoffs between parallel
and series are minimal. When changing to parallel, the drop in
flowrate and head pressure per block results in a temp loss greater
than the difference between two blocks piped in series. Same applies
for radiators - when piped in parallel the pressure drop results in
lowered performance thru-out the rig. Head pressure from multiple
pumps in series rather than parallel is vastly improved.

Extensive testing has been demonstrated over at forums.procooling.com
that basically proves factually via regulated testing with controlled
variables that series always wins over parallel due to head pressure
and flowrate being the two crucial factors in any watercooling system.

As a sample of the technical detail of some of the testing done as
part of the research into this, see Bill Adam's Review of the
ThermoChill watercooling radiators
(http://www.overclockers.com/articles778/), which is possibly the most
extensive and definitive radiator review for watercooling to date, and
has been used as a basis for many theoretical models being used to
improve cooling performance across the whole range of watercooling
components.

Watercooling is no longer a risky game particularly as in the
background the proper research is getting done to make it easier,
safer and more effective and efficient, as well as quieter.
