Hi All,
I've just noticed that my i7 930 has been running a little hot of late (stock fan), its running at 62 idle and 80/90 in games. Prime shoots straight to the high 90's.
I still have my swiftech H20 apex ultra kit, but its not been used since I upgraded from a core2duo.
First question, is there any issue with using these after about 18 months? Would I need to clean (if possible) the rad/pump etc? I drained it and taped the end of the pipes up last year.
Second issue is I can't remember the size of the pipes on this so unsure which waterblocks would be best for it.
Or should I just get the Corsair Hydro H50-1? as that would be a lot less hassle? just seems a bit of a waste since I already have everything apart from the blocks for my latest rig.
Cheers
