Good Delta? CPU 127F (NVidia Monitor) - Water Exiting Block 97F (Digital Themometer)?

I was very surpised to see such a low water temp compared to my CPU temp reading. I Had a Q6600 Priming 4 cores @ V1.46.

To me my CPU temps seem good for a Swiftech H2O-120 Premium setup on a hot Q6000 but I wondering shouldn't the water temp be a little higher exiting the CPU water block? :confused:

Did you have the temperature sensor on the outside of the tubing? If you did then you were not getting the actual reading since any type of plastic is a bad conductor of heat. Most likely the water exiting the CPU block was at a higher temperature.

Digital Thermometer immersed in the reservoir.

And in case someone asks, this is before water enters my rad :beer:


What are your temps at the T-Juntion or reservoir and your CPU temps like?

Cheers
