Hi folks!
I have just bought a Q6600 (stepping B, revision G0), 4GB PC5300 ram, an Asus P5KR and an Nvidia 8800GTS. I'm using a Zalman Reserator 1+ (by looking at other threads, I can see that I should have thought of a different kind of water cooling) which I used for my previous setup.
I have so far only cooled the CPU by water, but when using all 4 cores 100% I get temperatures of around 48*C. I planned on connecting the NB too (since I already have a block on the tubes) and the GPU. But is this advisable with the current temps? My system (i guess thats the temp around the MB?) is pretty hot too - around 48*C and it increases when stressing both CPU and GPU to 50*C and it might go even further.
I use SpeedFan 4.33 to monitor the temps, but I have read that it is inaccurate. I don't want to OC - just a stable/healthy system.
Can I ask of your opinion on my current system and do you have any advice for me?
I haven't done any other water cooling - thus my questions. It is not that I don't want to read the rest of the topics in the forum, I just need a starting point to work from
Kind regards Casper
