As I understand it there is no external water/oil heat exchanger, they rely on the block design and the routing of the oil and water channels to passively exchange heat to each other via the block. This was on one of their press blurbs anyway. It would appear as though their design is somewhat flawed however as there is no where near enough heat exchange between the fluids. I'm sure there was a method to their madness.

The water cooling system seems to be more than adequate, I've yet to see the coolant temperature move one ... um ... dot? It would be nice to know what temperature these markings represent, my normal temp is the dot left of center.
