Ok , i need a little feedback here.
I was running my H2o setup with 80% distilled water and 20% antifreeze. My cpu (tbred 1800) is @ 2124Mhz (11x193) with 2v thru the core.
I just swapped the res. My first res was a Qt. size mayo jar. The way my H2o is set up is like this:
It's external. Plastic file cabinet enclosure.
160mm fan at the back
chevy heatercore in the front
Mayo jar inbetween.
The airflow was being blocked by the jar. I got an oval type of jar and swapped it. I used zip ties to fasten it to the inside wall of the enclosure away from the airflow.
Temps before the swap:
Idle:44c
Full load:49-50c
After
Idle:37c
Full load:41-44c
A friend of mine suggested i flush out the water/antifreeze mix and add fresh distilled water and waterwetter. I did that thinking my temps would go lower, but they haven't.
I have no kinks in the lines and all the bubbles are clear. I've lapped my WB ( XML Miro) and applied a fresh dose of AS3. I ran Toast, Prime95 for about 24hrs with no problems.
Question is with the voltage i'm pushing thru the core (2v) and the cooling i have, are these the best temps i'm gonna get? And are they considered good, decent, or great temps?
Any feedback, suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated!
