Water Temps?

RichH · 11 Oct 2012 at 16:59

Hi guys,

What sort of water temps do you get?

With 2x very overclocked 7950s and a single 360 I am getting water temps in the low 40s, which results in GPU temps in the low 50s.

Seems a bit hot to me, perhaps a second rad is in order.

Anyone care to suggest what sort of water temp i may get if I add a square 200mm rad to the loop?

Also is a dangerous water temp? Are leaks more likely above a certain temp, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, this is with ambient of about 24 ish.

Did loads of research and those temps are good

Oh right, thanks.

I thought the aim was for a delta of 10 degrees? My delta is about 20. Is this the sort of figure you guys are getting?

Lower temps than me. I'm getting around a delta 25c give or take when my 2x7970 & 3770k...with a 60mm 240+360. My fans run 600rpm and ramp to 900rpm though.

I'm sure my temps would be lower if i could bare the noise though lol. Went on a tangent, but your temps are good.

Ok thanks guys, perhaps that 10 degree delta was from an old article relating to cooler hardware.

On a seperate note - seriously, if someone asks if they should buy more PC parts, surely the answer is always YES.
