New watercooling woes...

[Andybtsn]

My Thermaltake Tai-Chi arrived today with the watercooling already attached etc...

I wanted quietness really and it does that fine, but the CPU is totally overheating. Once I turn the machine on it's at 76oC, but gets to 90oC+ then turns off..

I don't know what's wrong though, the water tubes are getting quite hot and as is the cooler on the CPU

I can see the water going down etc, any ideas?

Also what the wire that comes off the CPU, does that just plug into a Fan socket?

Cheers!

Well i can see it moving in the outer tube...

All the fans are working, I suppose I can't tell if the rad is working?

And yes, thermal paste was used

Ah, sorted it, a mixture of air in tubes and not a lot of water (me not reading instructions!) All working good now...

2 things though.

The cpu is runnung at 34oC, is that a decent temp?

I plugged the two 120cm fans in also, is it possible to use a program to turn them on/off from Windows? As there quite loud!

Cheers
