Well been searching through the threads and trying to determine temps to rely on.
Well as the title says it, thats pretty much whats up. I had been running my xp-m 2500 at 2.6ghz on air but the loudness of an slk900 paired with a tornado was getting to me, besides, I had upgraded my case to a full tower and was given an 86 Chevette heater core for free. So off to work! Decided I might as well go for performance while going watercooling so got a swifty mcp650 (think its loudest thing in my box now), 120mm silverstone 110cfm fan, homemade shroud, res, and the asetek Anartica Waterblock (.13 c/w rated by oc database). I had a GPU block too but took that out of the loop as I added an artic silencer rev4 to my x800. I have temp sensors inside the resevoir, at my fan intakes and at the CPU out Y adapter. At idle (music, web) water temps are 84-88F at CPU out, and 2-4F lower inside the resevoir. At full load (Prime95 priority 10 for about 2hrs), the water temps go up to about 92-97F at CPU out, and 90-95 in the res. However using Speedfan and MBM5 my cpu temp is reading like crazy 55-60c load 44-47c idle case temp 34-38c (i know im sorry for switching in between F and C) but which temps should I believe in, also the computer is more stable now, even using 2.1volts through the core.
***EDIT:: Any help would be highly appreciated as I would like to push my CPU even farther but the software temps scare me*** Thanks in advance!!
