Im saving up for my next build....gonna try watercooling for the first time

Some questions with my setup at the moment (setup in comment)

With it running at 1.2v im getting 44/28 idle and 50/37 with orthos running. CPU is lapped so judging by this, is the CPU block not very effective?

Nick1881 · 21 Apr 2009 at 15:59

Does seem to be something wrong, at any point have the temps been closer? Might not be seated right. I'd expect no more than 3-4 degrees difference.

JamesM · 21 Apr 2009 at 16:22

No its always been like that. Ever since I bought the CPU, not sure which temp to actually believe as they don't appear to be 'stuck' and both go up and down. I'd imagine also that 50C load is pretty high for water cooling (even though its not an A+ setup, hell my old HSF worked better)

The rad is at the bottom of the case, tried hanging it outside for a bit and temps stayed the same. I'n using Xilence 120mm fans, two on the rad sucking air through the rad from under the case (raised the case feet to give more room for air flow) and currently one extracting. Should be getting a 140mm soon for the top.

Thoughts?

update - when the system is totaly standard, running orthos I still get 49/37C load. Surely on stock volts and speed it should be lower than this?

sorry for hijack but rather than a new thread (and it is WC related) is there any reason you cant paint a rad with with radiator paint ?

From the Thermochill website (I know yours is XSPC, but should be the same:

Many people out there like to change the color of their rad. If you do so, please remember NOT to paint the core. Mask this off with two panels of card, so that you only paint the end caps and side walls. Spray shrouds separately. Painting the core itself will decrease cooling performance.

kk cheers Mr TB
