[lefy]

i see that you are using water system so that is slightly better than a TRUE heatsink...just don't cheat on the cooling process...keep your PWM cooled with an additional 40mm fan to keep the mosfets cooled...are you water cooling the PWM area?

water cooling the PWM? where can i get a block for that? who makes them?

I'm air cooling right now, but it's not a permanent solution yet. I've got a 12" floor fan blowing into my case. That airflow is the difference between stable and not stable too.

Since the floor fan was working, I was thinking I might try suspending a 120mm fan above both the PWN and MCH. 40mm fans are too noisy for me.



what's 'too hot' for the PWM? I'm using cpuid's hardware monitor to get my readings and my PWM is hitting 80C under load. of course, hwmonitor is also showing cpu hits 210C (not the cores, the cpu... whatever that means)... so I don't actually know if this is a good tool to get the PWM temps
