Thanks for the great comments, much apprecaited!

I'm not exaclty sure why, I assumed adding a second huge radiator like that would have lowered temps by at least a few degrees under load but no go.
If anyone has any ideas why this might be the case please feel free to post! Also feel free to post suggestions on how to install the radiator differently for lower temps? Here are a few pictures of the new setup.

Hey iadstudio... How's that Scythe Mine keeping your E6700 cool?? 'cause I've got heat-problems with mine on the specs in my sig (hitting ~65'c)Quote:

WRT lower temps, add some fan shrouds. Better performance and quieter too. Sidewinder Computers is usually cheapest.
Edit: You didn't post temps. Maybe you have already reached your sweet spot? Can't go past ambient no matter how many raddies. If not, try more flow.

At the moment I'm running at 3.7Ghz on 1.49v (actual voltage w/DMM) and idle temp is 39C-42C, my load temps are 58C-64C depending on how my apartment temp varies over the night (I read load temps after a few hours of Orthos Small FFT's) and apartment temp varies around 23C. So unfortuenlty I'm no where close to ambient!
Was I a total idiot to think the temp would have dropped a few degrees by adding that crappy BIP120.3? I realize it's not much compared to the PA120.3 but it certainly added some surface area right? I should go back and re-read some of Marci's threads/post to get a better idea of why this didn't help bring temps down a bit!
I was pushing 62+ before I got the airflow worked out. If you look in the first picture I replaced one of the drive bay covers with modders mesh. Gives me much better airflow through the scythe Mine. Temps max out at 54c now.Quote:

Just make sure your airflow is flawless.

That pa120.3 probably has the water getting very close to ambient anyway. To get a reasonable idea of what the water temp is, undervolt the cpu and see what it idles at, that should be within around 5 degrees of the water temperature(or at least it was on my machine)
Sorry guys about the big picture size, I usually post at 1024 x 768 but if there is anything to read in the picture you can't read it because it's just too small! I also forget sometimes because I have a 24" LCD.
smopoim86,
Thanks for the post, back before I added the BIP120.3 and only had the PA120.3 my idle temps with CPU at stock speed and 1.19v was 20C-23C (depending on my apartment temp) so it was almost exaclty ambient. The actual water temp was also about 20C-23C (again depending on apartment temp).
I will bring my current CPU back to stock speeds and lower VCORE, then measure temps with both radiators installed to see what happens. In anycase smopoim86 if my idle temps are around ambient with CPU undervolted (like it was before I added second rad) what does that mean? Does that mean that the radiator was cooling the water as much as possible (ambient) so it wouldn't matter how many radiators I added (it can't get lower than abient)?
One last thing to add, my CPU temp didn't get any lower even though I took the G80 out of loop? My idle/load temps stayed right where they were when the G80 was in the same loop. Does that tell you anything?

You can see my Case and my Aircycle in my signatur in sysprofile :)
my highest delta with the mine on an overclocked (4.2-1.4volts) 640 was 12 degrees. ( a sunon highspeed fan undervolted to just above 5volts barely turning). 42-3 idle 54-55 maxQuote:

you must be doing something wrong.
What am I doing wrong ???

I'm not sure you are doing anything wrong. Are you using coreTemp to determine the temps you posted? One thing that may be helping is the case layout. The air intake you have on the side of the mobo really helps. WHen air comes in from that side of the case it'll flow behind the mobo as well and really drop your temps. 30c for idle temps though seems pretty low for air.Quote:

yes it was a question rather since if your mount is good and you have good airflow your delta should be alot lower no matter your ambient (to a degree-->no pun intended)Quote:

just a thought. you seemed proud of your temps with that cooler, i'm saying it could even be better.
yes i think so , too ...
seems so that the spreader of my cpu is bad ..damn it ! i have to sand it ^^
Let's get it over with! ^^
Very nice rig there man! Loving the red. :)
I sold my water cooling stuff cause im upgrading to Phase Change. Im also Looking for a better ram thats why i have a cheap ram right now.I also have an 8800 GTS Video card just sitting on my desk cause im swaping the cooler. Hope you guys like my Cable Management.
Pics of my rig on air right now :D I sold my watercooling stuff;)

That might possibly be the cleanest wirring I've ever seen before, great job man! With that said are you going to keep that case when you make the switch over to phase? Also do you know what phase unit your going to use yet?
Here's my recent massive overhaul. Moved quite a few cables behind the motherboard.
Soon I'll have a gpu power cable, hopefully it will be easy to hide.
The wires at the top are covered by the case. But I didn't want to take a picture of the side cover as the plexi is ugly. :down:

Nice, but simply crying for cable managment - sleeving and roundning ;)
And get rid of those stock ATA (maybe+Floppy) cables :|

I've got one of those coolers too and they are nice. I think one of my fans is dying though. It's really noisy for 30 seconds or so when I first start the system up. Haven't found a 60x10mm fan to replace it though.Quote:

I do have this thin crappy cover thing that came with the case but its' only held on with two little screws and seems very iffy to say the least? Anyway just curious what you did so that maybe I can do the same. Then again I just ordered a Silverstone TJ07 case (been wanting it ever since the new issue of Custom PC came out), lol!

http://www.gam.net.au/pcmods/htpc/im...MG5308.25a.jpg
Work log illustrating how I've modified my HTPC's generic case.
Some of the mods include:
- Front panel intake with MeshX grills and moulded fibreglass duct
- Top blow hole with anti-spill cover
- Noise dampening using adhesive foam
- Cable management mods to motherboard tray
- PSU cable alterations
- Interior paint
If you are interested, then please read on here...
Further mods to be performed include exterior paint job, maybe handles, side panel dampening and possibly small window (don't want to defeat the purpose of the noise dampening foam now, do I?), some subtle lighting 'bling' (at least behind the new front duct/grill) and any other good suggestions that people can come up with.
Updates, if they happen, will be posted here.
Cheers
GAM
Take all the plastic holders out. It will look much better!!
