Completed My Watercooling Setup

what are the temps like with the 590 running full bore aswell??

Captain Chaos · 22 Oct 2011 at 09:40

temps idle on the 590 are 28 degrees and at max load via unigine heaven peaked at 43 degrees.

V. happy with my build tbh :cool:

I must be doing something really wrong.
I get worse temps than that using a 360mm SR-1 and 120.1 EK Coolstream XT cooling a 1055T and 1 x GTX480! And my fans are on 1000rpm!

Nice looking build though and glad you're getting good temps. Must be really quiet too.

What monitoring program are you using for temps?

Build looks fantastic btw, really loving the brushed effect on the case and the res. Install looks incredibly neat :-)

are those temps minus room temp?

Captain Chaos · 22 Oct 2011 at 13:55

recorded the temps via MSI Afterburner and also with GPU-z

Quite like MSI Afterburner as it gives you the temps of each gpu individually on the gtx 590.

The temps recorded are inclusive and not minus room temps.

If anyone wants me to run a test with another recording program, im more than happy to do so.

I recorded the temps after 3 benchmark runs on heaven dx11.

Hi. is your fans on your rad, push or pull? Are u suing just on rad to cool your cpu and gpu?

Captain Chaos · 22 Oct 2011 at 16:52

Listed the kit on my first post matey. That said yes its just the 1 360 rad.

Fans are set to push.

jonneymendoza · 22 Oct 2011 at 22:35

Whats your loop order mate

Admiral Huddy · 22 Oct 2011 at 22:40

Nice job

Is that a small leak I see on the white tissue?

The compression fittings make for a tidy and very professional job imho - worth the extra outlay

Captain Chaos · 22 Oct 2011 at 22:51

Leak you say? Nope thats the pattern on the kitchen roll, crap iphone camera makes it look abit scary eh lol!

Loop order

res (pump), rad, cpu, gpu, res (pump)

jonneymendoza · 23 Oct 2011 at 00:05

res has a built in pump? cool no wonder why i could not see it. thats why i asked for your loop setup.

Captain Chaos · 23 Oct 2011 at 00:57

Yes a Alphacool VPP655 (Laing D5) pump to be exact

eggcup · 23 Oct 2011 at 18:22

could you do a burn with cpu and gpu on full load for hour ., then let us know temps?

Captain Chaos · 24 Oct 2011 at 10:04

Right then

completed a burn test on both the CPU and GPU for an hour this morning.

Stayed at a solid 47 degrees. Really happy with the temps im getting tbh.

Wiry · 24 Oct 2011 at 10:15

thats really good

I know my kit does 45C on prime 95 for 60 minutes

Captain Chaos · 24 Oct 2011 at 11:09

is that stressing a gtx590 (benching)

and running prime on the cpu at the same time

40 degrees is the max temp whilst prime is running on cpu (2600k i7). (clocked to 4.5)

eggcup · 26 Oct 2011 at 02:38

i dont mind how you do it, lol, i use boinc and seti@home and that stresses my cpu and gpu fully.

yeah its a tadge on the excess side but at the end of the day, I spend a lot of time on the old pc.

I can now sit in my office without sweating whilst playing games now haha

Does not compute.

If your rig is eating 600W while gaming then that's being dumped as heat into the room whether you use air cooling or water cooling.

Both methods are shoving the heat into the air of the room, for it to be a cooler room the cooling of the air in the room has to be improved.

Money is on you feeling the benefit of the cooler autumn temperatures.
