I was wondering if mobo bios temps are right mine say at idle 34c and at high after playing q3 for 1 hour, 39c I have a 1.2 amd @1466 v-core says 2.04 It is watercooled and I think it should run a lot cooler or these temps are wrong. I have a maze2 water block and using arctic silver 2 on it also running no radiator and a water bong using water wetter in water. The temps seem wrong because I can feel my water hoses and the water coming out into the shower head is very cool like cold drinking water, so I cant understand why my temps say in bios 34-39 when the hoses never even get close to warm they r freezing cold. and also I am not talking about the water coming out of the shower head right before it comes out its cold so I am not saying that I am checking the temps as it falls into the bucket but the hose before. The water in the bucket it self is extremely cold more so that the rest of the water of course it should be though. I just don't get these temps. oh and the copper block from danger den on the outside it is really cold to I don't get it, any Ideas would love to hear them : ) thx.

I'm guessing you are only water cooling the CPU, right? It is possible to have a cool running CPU and a hot running mobo. High FSB speeds heat up a mobo as will insufficent case ventilation. If you haven't already done so, I'd add better cooling to the northbridge chip and maybe install a couple more case fans.

check that your pump is powerful enough- 600 liters minum (for mormal systems but more for bongs) and that your bong is working well (a sprinkle effect not a dribble)

there is also the problem of the block not being held down well enough

ok well I run my case open and have the epox 8k7a mobo and a 26 cfm fan on my little heatsinks above my agp card sucking the heat off them and blowing out of the case (since the side of it is off) the copper water block is held down really well it cant go down any further. as for my water pump it is a mag drive 250 gph at 7ft but it is only like 1ft of hose and the shower head is sprinkling really well (not dribling at all) my water temp in the bong is 21c oh and also I have only overclocked the processer with the multiplier and not the fsb at all It is 11-133 =1466 that is what I am running at. can you think of anything else?

ok I have a temp sensor that says my water temp is 21.5c before it hits the shower head and then 21.0 in the bong so it is pretty cold so are my mobo temps wrong or what?
