Hi all,
Ok here goes lol, I have a kandalf lcs system with a p500 pump, t/t cpu block and 3x120mm radiator, inside i have a asus striker 2 formula with a q6600 cpu, and 2x geforce 8800 gtx in sli. Now I was watercooling the mobo chipsets,cpu and 1 8800 gtx and all was fine with the cpu at 3.6ghz highest temp went was about 68 fully loaded, I added the 2nd 8800gtx water block and now the temps hit over 75 on the cores causing games to lock ect. I know from reading forums t/t cpu,rad and pump are not really fit for this job lol, however money is quite tight and in the future i will replace the rad,cpu block and pump but if i was to repalce 1 what would be the best to do and get me back up to the 3.6ghz? just dont want to spend more cash on something that isnt going to help much, i guess i have just pushed the cooling system a wee bit too far . thanks in advance for advice given.
