I recently finish my first build using water and so far I haven't been real happy with my temps and am wondering what upgrade would yield the biggest change. For now I have an
Eheim 1250 (outdated)
Storm Rev. 2 (outdated)
MCR 320 with 3x 88CFM Yates at 7v
Micro Res
1/2 inch masterkleer
Cooling an e6600 at 3.2 with 1.28v
My Idle temps are ~28 and ~26 on the two cores, those seem fine/good for an ambient of 22-23. The thing thats bugging me is that under load the temps jump to ~42 and eventually get to 45-46. Is that big of a delta normal? I have done 6 mounts all with results within 2C of these. I have a feeling that the problem is the combination of a low head pump with a high restriction pump. So basically it boils down to which upgrade will help my temps the most in the short term as both will get done eventually, a D5 or a Fuzion?
