Time to check in with the rank and file about some temps...
I am on my third WC rig, and my components are:
-DangerDen Maze4 w/ Lucite top
-Hydor L25 pump
-my own custom 4"x4"x2" all copper heatercore
-1/2" tubing in a T-style reservoir-less setup
-(2) 92mm Vantec Stealth in push-pull mode
CPU is an Mobile 2400+ clocked to 2.4ghz @1.775v
Case temps of @28c, idles at 36c and after 2 hours worth of Prime it managed a stable 44c. Hard gaming was same temps after an hours worth of UT2K4. I originally was seeing load temps of 50c to 52c. All I did to get to 45c was add a second 92mm Panaflo to the existing Vantec stealth fan, both are rated at 27cfm, and that made the difference. I also applied a bit more pressure to the waterblock and reapplied some artic silver original. The original single 92mm fan was in push mode and I believe it did not have enough pressure to push enough air through the rad. Now it is in push-pull mode and still very quiet...my VGA Silence next week, should improve case temps a bit too...
Opinions? My delta-t is only 8c over idle....
