I first got the idea to build my watercooling system a while back, maybe a year ago. I remember seeing my cpu temps in bios at around 32*C. This wasn't that low in the first place. After noticing, about a week ago, that the temperatures were at about 42*C I decided to clean my watercooling system. I changed the water, added new anti-freeze, cleaned out all of the dust, and reinstalled it. But still 42*C with default settings in bios. I can figure out why they are so high, especially with watercooling. I have a:
86'Accord Heatercore with 2x 80mm fans (low cfm) on shroud
Maxijet 2100? (Its 295gph), in weightgainer tub (about 1 gallon)
Maze 2 waterblock
I really want to decrease temps because I used to have my 1700+ T-bred B at 2.2ghz. Ive considered going into peltier cooling, but I'm on a tight budget. I know that you have to seal socket holes and mobo around the cpu area. And have a strong power supply and the peltier itself. I also need to add a coldplate to my Maze2 which doesn't have one, or any holes to attach one.
But what components do you think I should add to my current watercooling system lower the temps? THNX.
