Hey Guys,

Well at 1am I decided to get rid of the w/c as I had seen no real difference to my temps.

So I took out the setup up, polished it down. By the time it was all out my rig was obviously in peices, to ended up cleaning my parts and putting it all back together looking better than ever!

Now when I turned my PC back on again, but I was on air.. my temps had dropped :eek:

Sooo..

Water:-

Idle - 38c Load - 44

Air:-

Idle - 31c Load - 39c

I am actually very happy at this moment, apart from my bad back which is from leaning into my case.. :p

Ever happened for you?

I dont have much luck with air, I think my Graphics card heat is escaping in the case and heating the north bridge up, causing the computer to crash at times,

The good thing of water cooling is that the heat is actually taken outside before it gets 'blown' away.

and has your vapochill system been sold? i cant seem to click on your sig. :confused:
 
That seems really wierd, a watercooled system performing worse than an air cooled system. What CPU / clock speed are you running.

I'd be interested to find out what Vapochil system you have. I take it everything was seated properly, no kinks in the tubing etc..

I can't get your link to work either.

The link doesn't work unfortunately, I need to change it in a moment.

I shall email you with info and pics regarding the Vapochill?

I was using a Pentium D 945 at 3.4GHZ stock..

what watercooling parts did you have ??

It's all there :).

If the price looks to high, its because I entered it wrong.
 
Hmmm... Still can't follow the link. When I click it I get

The Vapochill link or Water link.?

If it's the Vapochill link then it won't work. If your clicking the Water link then I don't know why it won't work.

Just so you know it's the Vapochill XE :)
 
I know, I'm confused about it all..

There was no air in the system at all,

Say that now, my air temps have risen to the W/C temps. I somehow think this maybe due to my processor or mobo?

i thought the vapochil xe could keep a cpu at negative temperatures, check it's not Idle: -38c Load: -44 ;)

Why would it be cooler under load than it is idle?
