Prometeia performance

[super_si]

Well eventually running at last.

Being running now for an hoour or so, and found the prommy s saying -42 - -44, whilst cpu is saying -20 in windows.

How can i improve the cooling of the cpu this doesnt seem that brillaint tbh.

Ive seen somewhere they have sanded the copper conductor plate using wet n dry i think sand paper.

Any more ideas.

Cheers

Are these temps at Idle or full load?

Idel thats what so worrying. ran hot cup for under 2mins and it'd broken 0.

Contact cant as been as good as i 1st assumed. Checked the gasket no signs of leakage or pressure.

I am running KD7 and 2400+@2442. Evap temp -29 and cpu temp -6 at full load. My idle temp evap -38 and cpu-20

Somethings up then :(

Think ill take the head off tomorrow then.

Sounds as if you are having bad contact between the evaporator and CPU die/heatspreader.

yeah if your evap temps is in the -40's while connected to your cpu.. something is up... my goes down to -35 and below when connected...

this drop in evap temp shows that there is a good conectiion

Just booted this morning and its running -23, a little better just wonder if it needs a good run it.

Gonna shine up the contact part anyway next time i take the head off.

Ive seen a guide how to do this, but lost the URL.

Ok, I am currently running @ Evap -31, CPU ?(suspected -12, MBM5 dont work with P4t533), however if I switch it all off and let it cool down overnight, for the first 15-30 mins it shows -41 to -38 100% loaded, I presume it heating the oil ?
Anway, temps do creep down after 30 mins or so

Looking on abit site the motherboard might have temperature reading errors. I hope.

Ive overclocked to 170fsb, seems to be stable lasted 10mins @ 175.

Still temps reading -37 on the prommie. hopefully my boards wrong and ive got a good seal.

just as an update

170fsb.
2,2,2,5 Timings.
1:1 ratio cpu to ram.

Your temps seem pretty normal to me (for a p4)
...I have had a p4 2.66 in mine, and at the bus speed you have, with minimal voltage increase, the prom will show temps ~ -35C under load on the chillcontrol.

Slap an XP in there and the temps will warm considerably. Mine will idle at -31 if I bump the voltage up to 2.05. Under load the chill control will warm to -27c. More voltage =warmer temps.

Must just be the monitor then, thanks for the help good to know ive got it working right
