Hey guys,
Well I've had the same watercooling system for about a year now, recently upgraded to an Opteron 148 from a Pentium 3.2e. First AMD. So the only thing I did was switch the bracket on the waterblock.
Here is the setup:
Swiftech MCW 6002
Boneville Heater Core w/ 2 Panaflo 120mm fans
Shroud
Quiet One 300lph Pump
1/2 ID Lines
~85% Distilled Watter/ 15% Car Refrigerant.
Seen here, except all new computer parts now:

Looking around most people with the DFI boards and opterons are getting in the Mid 40s on good air. I'm getting 31C Idle, and 38C full load at stock speeds, which is BARELY better than air.
Odd thing, is the coolant lines are room temperatues, water block top is *cold*. I figured maybe the heat transfer is bad. So I let it run prime 95 for a while, and then quickly took the waterblock off.
Result was the top of the Opteron was *barely* warm. So my question is, should I worry about the temps, or is the sensor just off?
Thanks for the advice.
