Whats your 24/7 Core i7 920 and temps under water?

Oh god, I am NOT liking these numbers at all. 70's? 60's? Even 60's at load is too damned hot! I wanna see no more than 59 degrees at 4GHz at the least and preferably 4.5. If not there is no reason to go to the expense of putting water cooling on these things.

I wonder what is causing these high temps? That is too damn hot to be pouring 500 dollars into a watercooling system and getting those kinds of temps.

Could people please start listing the particulars of their system and what software they are using? If we don't know what software you are using to record temps it's telling us nothing because all these programs give wildly different temps on the same CPU. Core Temp and real Temp vary by 10 degrees alone. Also Room temp, whether you have other blocks in your loop, if you have lapped or not. Without knowing what your running nobody can figure this out.

I know one thing. We need to figure this out. After seeing these kinds of temps, there is no way I'm putting anymnore money into WC gear until we figure out how to get these temps down. There ain't no way I'm running load temps of 65-75 degrees. Especially not with 500 dollars worth of watercoolinmg gear cooling it.
