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

I was thrilled about the block being real live copper too.

I look foward to your report Exahertz!

It is looking like our range of temps is about from 32C idle, and up to around 38C under max load.

That can't be holding us back any correct?

We still need more data!

If you have and doubt about how small the performance hit will be with a 3/8" section in your loop, read this:

The boys 'in the know' feel less than 1C between running 1/2" and 3/8" hose, which our NB block is 3/8".
I don't believe running a 3/8" block will cost us any OCing performance, and it is handy to use the stock ROG coolers.
I really was not up for the battle of removing the stock cooling, unless I had to for performance limitation reasons.

This chart will make you feel much better about using a 3/8" section in your otherwise 1/2" loop.

At least it did me...

I now think our biggest consirn should have been if the NB block was copper, and will it be enouigh to keep our NB happy.
My bet is that it will. Go ROG!

I have 1.54v to nb and it idles and loads at 44c.... I think something's weird about that. It's on water..

Thanks for the post.

We shall see if 44C at idle and load is odd.....

It sounds kinda bad sensorish to me?

I'm new at the game, is your pump a strong one?

Throw up a picture of your entire loop if it's handy.

I would like to see it.

Here is the pump I am using:

Also, I will try to post a pic later, but my good camera is not available at the moment so it will be a crappy one form my phone.

OK. Looks like a decent pump to me.

How many blocks total in your loop?

[-=j0nnyr0773n=-]

Just the cpu and nb. I have the pump turned up on full speed with 1/2" inner diameter tubing except for where it drops down for the nb.

Then yeha, that is a full blown mystery.

More data, more data!
