Emergency..High temps!!!

[berk]

So ive got me a Alpha cool 360 basic set,it consists of
600l/h pump inside a res (Eheim station)
waterblock
3 x 120 mm fans on a 360 rad
My loop is inlet from the res>inlet on the w/block>out from the w/block to the rad>outlet to the res and the fans are pulling air.
Temps are in the 50's!!!
Somebody help

Remount block.

so...my cooling loop et al is ok?

I would go rad > block > res > rad instead of res > block > rad > res

With blocks after rad you get the lowest temp iirc

[ppkstat]

Well, first try to remount the block. That is the most likely cause of your high temp.

Doesn't make much of a difference in order.

somethings wrong,the blocks on ok,but temps are still high...

[creidiki]

I had somethign similar in my loop because gunk left over from machining had clogged up my storm. Considering how awfully restrictive alphacool stuff is, its certainly possibvle.

Theres definately something wrong,but none of the above,i'll try again tomorrow when ive got a 'fresh head' ..so0o frustrated now.
Thanks for your suggestions.

also check MB bios version, mite be a temp correction on update

I think you were'nt too far off what the problem is....now that i dont have a cpu fan installed,(i think)my sisoft utility is reading the mobo temp instead of my cpu temp,when i boot into BIOS it reports the temps correctly.
If i touch the heatpipe its really hot,and it i touch the w/block its relatively cool
Anyone know how to solve this sensor misreading problem?
