I'm a bit confused. Just got my swamp cooler set up and decided to give it a real test. 2.2v on the cpu and 2.1 volts on the NB and two hours of looping 3dmark. The water temp went from cool to warm while the CPU temp only went up 3 degrees C. I don't understand how the water temp can go up by...I'm guessing 10-15 degrees C while the CPU temp only went up 3 degrees C...maybe 5 degrees depending on ambient changes.
Its keeping the CPU at 51 degrees C under full load where as my old system (1048, 3/8", maxxpert rad vs new 1250, 1/2", Swampie) would go upto 60 degrees C in this AZ heat and that was with lower voltages.
These are onboard temps, so they may not be accurate, but atleast they should be consistant right?
So what does it mean when water temps and CPU temps aren't rising proportionally like this?
