I learned something new this morning.
Recall that Ultra had mentioned previously that if your temps are sub-ambient that adding a radiator will actually warm up your water because the air that is passing through the radiator is at ambient.
Pretty much since I had installed the boreas I had placed two 120 fans about 3 in. away from the cpu block thinking this would do two things -
1. help evaporate any condensation before it could cause a problem and
2. cool down the water block even further.
Then last weekend I added a floor fan in the back of my computer closet to blow air over the racks and out the closet front door.
So I had blowing ambient air flowing over the cpu block and over some of the tecs (located on the surface of the boreas).
This morning I accidently left the fans off - wow - look at the result - coolant down to 11.4C and idle cpu down to 19!
This at 4.2 oc and with just over 1.4v cpuv.
