Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

Your CPU is not gonna be 44c if your cores are near 60c. I think that reading is about 15c off.

Nice blocks!!

This is my test with the MIPS on the QX6700 3.6Ghz NB Vcore 1.70
I run it for 45mins, then stopped it and re run it for about 20mins

NB 28c

Now that I have been seen how much your ambient can effect all your temps accrost the board, I think the ambient column needs to be added to the OP. Sorry guys with small screens... I hope it dosen't make it too hard on the eyes?

So boy's, how do you think we should proceed?
Do we want a few entries by members at different ambient's, or 1 entry each, and let them pick their favorite? ...
I think I lean toward 2 or 3 each, but would go with the flow...

Is your info correct as listed neo?

I'd say if possible, let people post a minimum of 2 ambient/ load temps, mine seems to be about 59F minimum and whatever max people may experience. I won't be able to post a max till summer and I see 95-100F. After being stable for 7 days at previously posted settings and temps, I went from a Windows SMP to VMware Workstation with 2 instances of Linux 64 and the corresponding folding smps. I've had to up voltages considerably and NB is currently hitting 35C. I suspect I'll have to go to 1.70v NB to get stable again. At least 2 ambient temps should be allowed. I have no objections to using the scroll bar if others want more ambient options.

Thanks for the input WFO...

I also plan on doing another run, when my basement heats up!

It should read Ambient 24c

Corrected! Thanks.

I think your the first member to post his temps running 5 blocks in 1 loop.

I was wondering how much it would change your temps on the NB and CPU.

Looks to me like you won't be having too much of a problem running cool...

I also took more of the info from your build thread for my OP!!
Thanks again for all the help you have given us on ordering these blocks...
I hope you don't mind neo buddy.
My read is your a team player, and don't care!

No problem. More that welcome!!
True 5 blocks in 1 loop !!! hehe ! way togo thanks for pointing it out

I believe if I were a Borg, the correct statement would have been: Your data has been assimilated, to service us.

Heck, if you look at yours and my entry, when our ambient temp was closer togeather, I can tell we are getting very similar performance.
Only thing is, I'm running 2 blocks in 1 loop, -vs- your 5.
I believe you should be pleased with your temps...
The MIPS blocks look to be solid performers to me.
