At the moment I have an old Innovatek watercooling system I bought in 2001, parts are a Rev. 3 waterblock, 120mm aluminium radiator and Eheim 148 pump.
I have a E7200 running at 3.8Ghz with 1.475V and the CPU temp isn’t that good, idle is ~32C but as soon as I start Orthos the temps jump to 65C and stay there which is a bit higher than I expected.
Is it perhaps so that with the new 45nm CPU’s watercooling somehow isn’t as efficient as it was in the past?
I am thinking about getting a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 for 38 euro and just use that as I don’t have to keep topping up the reservoir and make some room in my case but how is the thermal performance of this cooler compared to my old watercooling kit?
Will it be comparable or will I end up regretting it as I need to reduce the overclock?
