Official Water Cooling Thread of the Stock Maximus SE ROG NB Club:

[Talonman]

Thanks for the post, and the info.

I look foward to your review.

Too bad about ASUS not attaching the NB in a highly heat conducting manor.

That is not what I wanted to hear, nor did I want to remove all my stock ROG cooling. That is disappointing news to me.

Mabey our temps will still be good enouigh?

I still think we need a few more temps reported, water cooling the stock NB block, before we can draw any big conclusions..

If we get more reported in our current range: (About from 32C idle, and up to around 38C under max load), we would still be fine.

Raju, when you say your block came off, do you mean fell off, or off with heat and slow twisting? I am wondering with your board hitting 49C under load, and your poor block mounting, if that might turn out to be a telling thing....

I kind-a hope it was just a production freak.

Currently, you are reporting the highest temp we have heard yet, running the Maximus SE stock NB ROG block on water at 49C Max load.

So far:
Renegade5399 - 34°C under load
bill d ----------- 34°C under load
ragge86 ------- 36°C under load
j0nnyr0773n --- 44°C idle and load
raju ------------ 49°C under load (After re-mounting, max went down to 39°C)

What a range!!
