First of all I'd like to thank the academy...seriously, thanks for all the great info. You helped me whether you wanted to or not! I just put a PA 120.3 rad (3 Pana's), Iwaki MD20, Tygon 1/2" ID X 3/4" OD tubing, Apogee, and Maze4 X 2 for SLI setup. System specs are in sig i believe. Wow...that was a lot of work and trouble shooting. I am glad I took time to read other peoples experiences, it helped me EMMENSELY. Ok, how are the temps you ask??.
Air cooling idle/load: CPU 34*/46*, GPU#1 53*/72*, GPU#2 55*/78*
ON H2O idle/load: CPU 23*/31*, GPU#1 31*/39*, GPU#2 48*/51*
Accuracy of the temps is negotiable, but the comparison is valid. > 20 C drop in GPU and >10 in CPU. I am very pleased. MBM5 is my sourse for temps. Anyone concerned re: the difference in temps between GPU 1 & 2? I check the two card and both are seated exactly the same, with the same tension. Before WC, I assumed the temp difference was related to decreased air flow over card 2 (while card 1 dumped its heat onto card 2 also). Don't know quite what to make of it now though. Feeedback would be greatly appreciated.. I WILL post pics later this afternoon...I can't do all that hard work and not show it to someone besides my girlfriend (who justifiably called me a geek). Thanks again folks.
