I recently installed a new Prescott system and I used my old water cooling system that used to cool a A64. I know prescotts are warmer, but it seems my temps are pretty bad for a watercooling system. I get 47C idle and near 51C on load detected by Abit AA8 bios.
My setup consists of:
Whitewater block
Hydor L30
Dtek "black ice" 120mm radiator with shroud and fan @ 8V.
Bay Rez
I haven't cleaned the waterblock and the only thing new in the system is the water which I refilled with purified water.
The reason why I'm concerned is because I am planning on adding a VGA waterblock and I don't want the temps to skyrocket.
Would cleaning my waterblock improve temps? any other suggestions? is VGA waterblock going to kill my system?
