I was just wondering if anyone could give me their thoughts about my water cooling set up.
EVGA 133-K8-NF41 W/ newest BIOS
Opteron 144 around [email protected]
Danger Den Copper TDX water block
ViaAqua 1300 water pump
Big Heater core from a Van w/2 92mm ducted fans @7V
All 1/2" plumbing
My question is that my cooling set up has always seemed to run warm, by this I mean 38C @ idle which is good, but jumps up to about 57C @100% load. When I bump the fans up to 12V I get around a 1-2C drop, not really worth the noise. This same phenomenon happened when I had a t-bred on my NF7 with a Danger Den Maze 2. I can get the chip to run stable at around 2.7ish, but I'm just curious. Sound like the pump is too restrictive? Any thoughts? I don't really care if the motherboard is misreading the temps, but a 20C jump is hard to overlook. I'll try to post some pics later.
Thanks in advance
