Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

[Talonman]

NB was at 21c for first 8min or load then down to 20c for the last 17min or load

Thanks for the post.

We will be a sport and call your current max loaded NB temp 20c due to that is what you settled into as OCCT ran, and your TIM may still be settleling in a bit too.
