COD4 isnt very cpu intensive lol. Plus temps stablize fairlly fast. run dual orthos and take a pic while its running

What are load temps?

On a side note your computer has a virus.

Tape sucks especially if you use a heatsink/clamp method that flexes the board. Better to just run without mosfet heatsinks in that case.

Just run Prime95 to put a 100% load on all four cores.

good start though it may take a while for your water temp to stabilize.

btw, i figured i would post a photo of the finished case. all blocks are nice and flat, cpu heat shield nice and flat also. i went to were i got the prime 95 and they said to leave it run for a day for a real good stability test. hell im such a noob at this. building isnt no problem.....just all the other stuff, lols. randy.

If you really want to test for max temps on the cpu, run prime95 small FFT test. Set up is looking good man.
