It dont make sense to stick warm air through something your trying to cool.
Adding another rad to my WC loop
- Thread starter Slinkie
- Start date
Ok,
What I am going to do is change the fans around and see if it makes a difference. Since I'll be doing that ( which is pretty tricky in a small case) I might bleed the system as well and add another rad at the same (hopefully on its way to me from ocuk) and see what difference it makes.
I am getting some faster ram too so hopefully I'll have a bit more room temperature wise to push the cpu a bit harder.
I'll post a new thread tomorrow with some pictures etc.
The plan is, temps as it is,
temps with the fans turned around
temps with a new rad
and temps after further overclock.

Gutted! Put my new rad in and changed the fans round but I didnt like it, I could feel the air coming back out of the top of the case even though the fans we blowing in.
I decided to change it round again and in doing so put a ******* hole in the rad! Another one is on order so I'm going to have to wait until mid week until I get my hands on it.
So close but yet so far!

Well i dropped you a email anyway.
Cheers brad, sent a reply
Decided to change things around while I have it all apart and drained again so along with a new rad I am getting some new hose and anti kink coils (going for black tubing and yellow anti kink) I'm getting a new top for the pump and a separate resevoir as I think having the res on top of the pump adds to the vibration and so noise. I also got a lapping kit for the CPU and the CPU block so hopefully I can shave a few more degrees off. Last thing I got was some mx-2 thermal compound so hopefully that might help as well.

I think you may have hit reply which sends it back to OCUK messaging instead of my email addy mentioned in the message.
