Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

[Talonman]

My first officail baseline numbers!
Q6600 GO, stock speed of 2.4GHz

I used the newest version of OCCT, set it for 1hour Mixte test.
Room temp was 62.0F


Idle Temps ------ 30min IN ----- Final Temp
MB - 25C ----------- 25C ------------- 25C
CPU - 7C ----------- 15C ------------- 15C

Core1 - 20C -------- 28C ------------- 28C
Core2 - 20C -------- 27C ------------- 27C
Core3 - 15C -------- 24C ------------- 24C
Core4 - 21C -------- 30C ------------- 30C

NB - 21C ----------- 22C ------------- 22C
SB - 26C ----------- 26C ------------- 26C

Thoughts:
1) On my cpu, I never saw 31C ever display even once. My feeling is that is pritty darn good so far... The odd consistant low reading on core3 I tend not to believe, and go with the others. I just think it reads low?

2) NB at idle is good, and it hardly ever climbed much higher with OCCT Mixed running for 1 hour. If about 22C is going to be my worst temp, I should be golden!

3) My fan and sink seem to be working well for my SB... Temp did not change from idle to load at all. What temp does your SB hang at?
