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

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 :)
