I don't think you can compare a newer CPU with the heatoutput of your old opteron,... look so many peeps have given you advice that ya current cooling needs some upgrading too... if you don't want it why ask it ? You even say the air coling cuts it at 3.6 while ya WC setup doesn't !

Many peeps used the good old arctic cooling 64Pro with their opterons and got good clocks and even good temps , though for the newer batches of CPU's it just doesn't cut it...

Only thing you can do is to flush everything again and reseat it , though I doubt it will bring much...

I have the D-Tek fuzion , EK waterblock for the 8800GTX, Fuzion block of the mobo all on a thermochill PA120.3 and Extreme Flow 240 on one Laing Ultra pump...with 8/10 tubing.

CPU idles at around 30-35 degrees Centigrade at 3.4Ghz (on 1.3 volts), tops out at 55-58°C under Prime test, GPU remains at 35°C idle tops out at 50°C under 3DMark stress....

I really hope you can bring them down with ya current setup mate, though I doubt it...

Well keep us posted how it goes, but don't start to flame and curse here, we all want to help and we do it for free !!!

Exactly. That tells me it's unlikely my Storm, rather something else, like the aforementioned re-seating.

I am actually SURE it will - don't you think it's absurd to have 60+ Celsius when idling, at stock clockspeed?

How does the PA120.3 compare to BIPIII?

I'm fairly convinced it will come down - however I know my 1048s are doomed for replacement... only if I could find a similarly inaudible but stronger external (AC) units...

No flaming from my part, I just don't like when somebody jumps in and calls me an idiot when posting some stupid stuff without reading my numbers first.
