They can be all over the place. You could get everything from rads that are now outside in Winter Weather, to our Aussie freinds that are now almost into Summer heat. You could get any number of 10's of thousands of different combinations, voltages, OC levels, bench rigs, rigs inside of Towers, rigs inside of Cube type cases.
The one thing I learend the hard way on here is that you'll end up more confused than ever with threads like this. There are just too many variables.
That and you should eat more beans if its cold where you are, free heat.
And I agree with T_flight, as long as you are getting good numbers for your specific build, then thats all that matters :up:
I don't think he's wondering what's good...I think he just wants a comparison...
Or maybe he just wants to take a peak at others temperatures who are willing to post. I haven't started an i7 build yet but I would love to see what the temperature trend is with these chips thus far.
Thats correct... Wanted to see what setups are alreday out there and how well they are cooling for 24/7 setups. I have a 965E cpu in my hands but may go 920 if results people are having is good. Seems they are all over the place from reviews. I'm awaiting some GPU Blocks from Performancepcs.com and havent finished setup.
Anyone running Core i7 yet?
I am running a Core I7 920 O/C 3.8 with Ht enabled low 70's with DD block and Pa 120.2 and MCR120 RAD with 4870x2
Can I ask what your temperatures were with the stock HSF and default settings and OC'ed? And what your temperature were at default setting with water-cooling? If you recored or remember the numbers by any chance.Quote:

Everest values i get :
3.8 1.34 vcore 62 max
TFC exchanger 360, aqua HD DI , mcr 355 + xspc top, microres
well when I was running my Coolermaster v8 my load temps where low 70c also.. I think my 4870x2 is dumping alot of heat in my loop
4ghz
1.344vcore load.
37c idle.
60-65c load.
ek supreme.
tripple rad black gt 360
innovatek passiv.
one gpu block in loop
changing all this with new chassi.
might use only the triple.
1.45 volts 4 ghz 920
40c idle 75C load
TFC360
GTZ block
TFC 120
MCW 60
MCP 355 W/XSPC Res. top
Yates Loon 1700 RPm fans
Was hoping for better temps, but thee i7's run hot.
wow thats really hot.. and you have the Feser RAD..
I think its the 1.45V that making your cpu a Frying pan :eek:
I know!! :mad: 2 Fesser rads 360 for cpu and 120 for gpuQuote:

nemon,
I have got my new dual Feser in yet.. I am running on a PA120.2 and MCR120 right now getting these temps
What kinds of temp do u get running 3.8 at like 1.32v ?

4ghz and 1.45 volts passes prime with 70-73C 1 hour but have not pushed it farther. dont want to burn it before getting another one.
This may be a crapy chip i have. My chip does the same as it did with a 120 ulrta but 20C less.
So no extra OCing with water.
nemon,
I noticed u have the same case I got . and mobo and cpu.. you have any picks of your rig ? I like to get some ideas for my new stuff coming thursday
This is my first WC build. if i had previous EXP. with some hindsight I would have swapped the second rad inlet-outletQuote:

Since it passed the an 18 hour leak test I will fix it later.

Oh god, I am NOT liking these numbers at all. 70's? 60's? Even 60's at load is too damned hot! I wanna see no more than 59 degrees at 4GHz at the least and preferably 4.5. If not there is no reason to go to the expense of putting water cooling on these things.
I wonder what is causing these high temps? That is too damn hot to be pouring 500 dollars into a watercooling system and getting those kinds of temps.
Could people please start listing the particulars of their system and what software they are using? If we don't know what software you are using to record temps it's telling us nothing because all these programs give wildly different temps on the same CPU. Core Temp and real Temp vary by 10 degrees alone. Also Room temp, whether you have other blocks in your loop, if you have lapped or not. Without knowing what your running nobody can figure this out.
I know one thing. We need to figure this out. After seeing these kinds of temps, there is no way I'm putting anymnore money into WC gear until we figure out how to get these temps down. There ain't no way I'm running load temps of 65-75 degrees. Especially not with 500 dollars worth of watercoolinmg gear cooling it.

I get the same OC on water w/15 -20c drop as my old 120 ultra and nothing more, now I really think I have a crappy chip
The two I use are Asus Probe II and Real Temps. As you can see an 11 deg. diff. Whats a better progy to use besides direct laser temp?
This is under load prime 95 5 min.

nemon,
my setup will be close to yours on thursday.. same pump,and res top.. and same FES360 RAD
Difference I am going to use the Koolance 350 block, and MRC120 Fan.. and PA120.2 Rad on the side panel. and I only use 3/8 tubing..
when you mounted your pump did u have to drill any holes? and is it very loud? you still using the stock 230 fan on the side for airflow?
nemon,
I use Realtemp 2.89.5
are you using large FTT with prime
OH turn off Hyperthreading and watch your temps drop 10C

I can't even hear the pump, I did use the sticky pad on the bottom ,and I am using the 230mm side fan, it helps allot with intake air.
The case is a little louder than before but that due to the 3x120mm 1700 RPM fans on top.
No small FTT, why turn off Hyperthreading? will it till be as fast?
Have you tried running it just with the CPU in the loop? After seeing this, I think running a GTX280 like I have and a Core i7965 is just gonna be too much heat dump in a single loop. I've been leaning that way, but wanna try to get more info.
If anyone out there has tried just a single loop with like a 360 rad of some sort, DDC 3.2, and 38mm fans I'd love to hear what the temps are.
Hyperthreading will reduce heat, but will reduce performance. I wouldn't want to do without it. It might be a good test though just to see what's going on.Quote:
