I finally put my first WC setup together. Had a couple small problems. First one was my Home-made Resivoir was leaking because I didn't get a good enough seal around the fitting. Then after a couple hours I notice a very small leak on the intake to my WW Block. I fixed that leak by just changing my hose clamp. The hose clamp that was on it had a slight bend in it and was sqeezeing the tub. After that no more leak.
When I first turned on my computer after that I was reading a CPU temp of 29, Case of 24, and a Diode of 58. I knew something must be wrong......then my diode reading set off the alarm by hitting 62. After shutting the computer down and rebooting I still was haveing a high reading of 58 again. Since the other sensors were so low I though what the heck and I started prime95 and for some strange reading my diode dropped way down after starting prime95.
What could have caused my diode to be so far out of whack. Right now I'm running 95 still and my CPU temp is 33, Case 24, and the diode is bounceing between 29-33. Am I just getting false readings sometimes? I'm sure if my Diode was really around 60 my cpu temp would not read 33.
Another thing I found strange is I decided to see how quick my temps would go up if I turned my fans off blowing on my heatercore. To my suprise my temps did not change at all? Does this mean cooling setup is good enough to not even bother with a fan and just run passive?
