Hi

Just got OcUK H²OC Watercooling Bundle(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...38&name=OcUK%20H%B2OC%20Watercooling%20Bundle) its cooling a q6600 running 3.2 gig @1.36v

The thing is the cores are running at about 57 degrees under load (F@H)
which is no better then my old Evo 120 with a sharkroon silent eagle 1000. The rad is mounted at the bottom with a sharkroon silent eagle 2000 blowing cool air on it from the bottom, room temp is 27 degrees, I have remounted the CPU block several times with no difference in temp. I have also made sure that I have connected the CPU block the right way along with it flowing the right way e.g. input used as input. any suggestions?

rest of spec is:

Coolmaster cm690
gigabyte p35-ds3p
8800gts (g80)
4gig g-skill pc6400 5-5-5-12

Ps i have http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...t=1041&name=XSPC RS240 120mm Radiator - Black comming but not sure that will make a big diffance.

i use hwmonitor to monitor temps but tried real temps and it read about the same

yeah the CPU is lapped.

I use artic silver 5 and is applied correctly

Pump working right slightly noisy but working right maybe its just not powerfull enough for the ek supreme?

and here's a picture of the tubing

Thanks for the help as it has me stumped too lol

Not that I can tell as I took a while bleeding it, but thanks hmm ill just wait till the bigger rad comes as the res is warm when you touch it.

yeah could try again mind, that reminds me first time I did it I forgot to add the fill cap back on = fesser everyware

Edit: Quick update added another sharkroon to the rad so it is in push pull and temps are now 49c with room temp of 23c
so a lot better know
