Watercooling Temps

AlanJ · 27 Feb 2008 at 08:51

Hi all, I have just set up my first watercooling system using the Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra Watercooling Kit.

Using that to cool my CPU only

Im getting temps of around 44idle/58load Does this sound about right? Not sure what temps i should be expecting.

Spec;
e6700 @3700 1.45v
4gig ram
520corsair psu
8800gts.

Many thanks Alan.

Is this ok?

Yeah sounds pretty good depending on what you're using to measure full load.

Hi using core temp. Its just that my old Tuniq tower used to be about 60load, and i thought water was a vast improvement on temps ?

Same fan performance?

Not sure tbh, tuniq tower was on standard setting (lowest) same as my rad fans :\

what was the idle for the Tuniq Tower, i.e. has the Delta between idle and load changed at all?
