Let me start with my setup, then i will explain problem...

CPU: AMD 6400+ BE
MOBO: Asus m3a79-T Deluxe
GPU: Asus 4850 1GB
Water Block: THermalright (i dont know the product number, it is no longer carried at any vendor as far as i can tell)
PUMP: Ehiem (or however you spell it) HPPS 12v high flow pump
Radiator: Black ice Xtreme 240
PSU: Thermaltake 535W psu
Tubing: 1/4' ID x 3/8" OD vinyl tubing
Liquid: FluidXP Ultra w/z-7

I am starting up, and having temperatures in the mid-high 70c range and any sort of load brings it to the 110c threshold, and forcing shutdown. i have good flow without the waterblock in the loop, but very poor flow with waterblock attached. I have a 2 part question, 1st is my tubing too small?? 2nd, i think there may be buildup of somesort in the block, is there any way to clean out the inside of the block?? i guess i have another question, i just recently purchased my proc, and when i recieved it, it had 4 bent pins... i bent them back, and dont have any problems seating proc, but will that make a difference?
