High watercooling temps ?

[Olly_K]

Hi guys, this is my first post so please be gentle !

I've recently gone watercooling (3rd attempt in a few years) and I've recently finished my setup.

It conists of 2 TC 120.2 rads with 2 yate loon fans sucking through the rad (pull ?)

2 x Alphacool Laing DDC 12V ULTRA Pump & Plexitop pumps

Seperate loops cooling qx6700 and 8800gtx.

Also I have lapped my CPU and its made next to no difference at all

Here is the setup (very rough, only just put it together this morning ! )

Idle 3.5ghz..

between 42-48 is reasonable.

My E6300 @ 1.5v idles at 42-44c and load is a constant 55c.

Phew ! and thanks for the replies, I might just put it back to standard and see what temps I get then just to be on the safe side !

Yep, 2 x Lian-Li PC-343's stacked up. A bit of a waste of space but I have 10 hdds and a 900w PSU in the right hand side of the bottom case, and I dont really want water in that lot plus I dont think there'd be enough space for 2 pumps and 2 120.2's.

Still need to get some 3-bay fan grilled things and 2 window panels and a few more UV bits, but apart from that I'm pretty happy with it :)

It look like your q6600 is a b3 and for a b3 it is completely normal. also, you load temp will up to 60s too :)

its a qx6700, but Im thinking of swapping it for a q6600 G0, but these are multiplier locked right ? Do the G0's hit 4 gig ?

this is madnesssss, total overkill with the space, but must admiit that is XS :)
i put mine 10hdds + 3 optical drives into 343 and they are separate from wc loop wich consist of pa120.3, 2× ddc3.2 w/Petra's Top, fuzion..and still have room for another loop with pa120.2..

[Olly_K]

yes it can hit 4ghz, but no one will use it for 24/7 because it needs at least 1.6v for it.
