I am curious about people's setups for watercooling. I would like to get an idea of what the best setups are and what temps people are getting.

I am a first time computer watercooler so I bought a no brainer system.

Nautilus 500 cooler
cooling cpu only
idle cpu temp 31c
load cpu temp 33c

cpu is Intel X6800 unclocked

Swiftech Apogee and MCW-60 - X2 3800@2.5/X1800xt
MCP-350
Black Ice GT360
5x Yate Loons @ 12v (would have 6 but there are obstructions)

According to speedfan, my CPU temps are about 41c full load, but ATT and core temp both report temps as being 44/48 and 43/48 respectively.

I was a little surprised to see it myself. I ran PCmark 06 then encoded a couple dvds, and finally played a couple rounds of bf2.

Ambient : 24°
Idle: 27°
Load: 31/32° (fluctuates back and forth, fans throttle a little)

I'm very happy with it so far. I plan on putting a larger TEC (or a 16v PSU) in my chiller in order to come closer to my goal of ambient temps.
