Single loop w/320

[Flinch]

Hi Guys,

I just have a cpu loop on my 9650, my temps are great, but I'm wondering if any benefit is to be had by upgrading to a 320.

Thanks,

Flinch

What is your current rad?

[Flinch]

Sorry, I can't believe I forgot that...I have an MCR 220 currently.

I dont think you'll see a big difference in temps, maybe a few degrees. I think one advantage is you can use lower RPM fans given the extra surface area. but im still kinda a newbie still, so you might want to see what others have to say :P

Thanks rootz0r,

I was just looking for confirmation that there wouldn't be any substantial decrease in temps.

For me, temps improved dramatically when moving from a 220 to a 320.

temps will always improve with bigger rad they say if your watercooling always go for the biggest rad you can get so you dont constantly upgrade rads through the years as your system grows i.e. graphics cards, NB/SB bridge loops, etc....

Thanks guys, guess I'll give the 320 a go

What's your OC? Voltage? Other components? Temps? Fans?

Personally I'd be surprised if you saw substantial improvement (5c+) on a stock clocked 45nm quad all other things being equal. How much heat you're pushing is the big variable.
