Swiftech H20 cooling issues

[HatMan]

Hi All,

My new Swiftech H20 120 Compact is currently cooling my PC with a Noctua 1200rpm fan running at 12v. At idle I have 46,46,46,48C Not only is this crap it's almost twice as hot as the previous HSF I had a freezer 7. Anyone experienced this before?

I hear what you say ***FIZZY*** I bought the kit because magazines say it is superb. It is very well built and well thought out. 30 mins with Prime and I have 63c on all 4. I'm running a Q6600 B3 stock with 9 x 266, CPU is at 1.325v stock. I used Coretemp latest version for measurements as Speedfan gives me "fairyland" results. My system temp is idle at 50c

I have not tried Outside to in based purely on the fact my system temp is steady a 50c rising to 63 during Crysis. What fans do you recommend for water cooling? The one supplied sounds like a jet engine.
