Yes, Another Car Radiator Thread....Major 56K Warning!

So, I filled it up with this hard tap water and let the system flush for a few days. Ran into a few minor problems and fixed them.
Now, on June 2, 2008, I have a Q9450 OCed to 3.4 on a GA-G31M-S2L running 100% on Boinc and cpu temps of 46-50C (ambient outside is 30C/85F) and fans on low. I believe that the bottleneck to better temps are A) the current ambient and B) the Apogee GT and MCW30 water blocks.

No Problem for me though.....I will be more than happy crunching at those temps and removing all that heat--OUT--of this room. The cost savings on the A/C should help pay for the cost of running the pump and 2 fans. Good Deal!

When I replace the tap with distilled the temps should get better.

First PC hooked up to the manifold:



This PC will have an open-case home soon:


I left extra tubing in order to not waste any more than necessary when I finished and located this PC's home:










Ambient outside right now is ~67F/19.4C. The Q9450 is still @ 3.4 running 100% on Boinc and temps are: 40, 39, 39, 39.


I'm curious to see what happens when I hook up the next PC.
