    Is this setup ok? First time water user

    i just want to know if im creating a bottleneck anywhere.. my GUESS is that the radiator is not as good in comparison to the block and/or the pump... so i might be either wasting money on this pump or not spending enough on the radiator... thanks guys $74.95 - 12V Pump...

    12V rail is reading 11.79 in bios. Should I increase the voltage?

    i agree... but i dont think it should matter where u plug the multimeter into... its all theoretically the same spot, or node... all the devices are connected to their respective rails in parallel... regardless of what it looks like... basic circuit fundamentals show that the voltage should be...
