Ok...so I got my rig all put together. I have the Maze 3 all copper block, Hydor L30 pump, and Black Ice pro radiator in an inline system. The rad and pump are in an external box with a delta 120mm fan at one end and the rad at the other. The box is airtight and the fan pulls air through the rad. I used AS3, lapped the block, and use water wetter. With this setup my idle temps start off at about 33-35*C for about 10-15 minutes and then go up to about 38-40 . My case temps get pretty hot too (northbridge heastsink and ram are HOT to the touch) so I have one 38cfm 80mm as an intake. The only exhaust are the power supply fans. Any ideas for what I should do to get better temps? These temps are better than I have had at home with my old air cooling (~44*C idle ) but when I was at my dorm at college it would idle at ~36-38*C. My room here at home is much warmer than my room at college, so should I just not worry about it and wait until I get back to college to see how it does? Any and all ideas/comments welcome...I'm about to go take some pics of my rig and put them up...thanks.
