I've recently installed a Swiftech Premium H20 kit and an additional Swiftech GPU block. When I installed it I stupidly routed the tubing so that the water passes through my GPU before my CPU... I did try to get the tubing off again to switch it round but I couldn't for the life of me get it off so I just left it.
My CPU is currently idling around 34 degrees and it goes up to around 45 degrees under load. My GPU (X1800XT) is idling at 44 degrees and is about 60 degrees under load.
I have 2 questions;
1.) Would changing it round so the water passed through the CPU first significantly improve CPU temps? or would it not make that much of a difference
2.) Do these temps seem reasonable? I thought they seemed a little high, but I put that down to the fact its only a 120.1 rad.
Oh, the CPU is over clocked to 3ghz, but I'm using stock voltage - significant voltage increases were causing the temps to go to high (53 degrees under load
)
