h20 help!!

[m4a2t0t]

i just finished putting togehter a WC box and my temps are pretty high 45c cpu/26c sys.my ambient temps are at 76f
i have tried rerouting my hoses and that hasnt helped any,i have also tried to lap the waterblock,that didnt help either.
everything inside the box is cool,all the hoses ,resivor and the waterblocks.i measured the temps of the waterblock and resivor and they are around 84f.the cpu is making good contact with the waterblock.
im using dangerden waterblocks for the cpu and northbridge,2 131 cfm fans for the rad and 3 50 cfm fans for the case.

any ideas?:eh?:

Did you bleed the system of air properly?

What are you using to get your CPU temp? When I first got my water cooling setup my temps showed the same measured by the motherboard's probe. I got a temp probe from CrazyPC and stuck it next to my cpu's core. It fit perfectly between the block and cpu. It measures around 33C while motherboard monitor 5 and VIAHM both show around 45C. Basiclly, what I'm saying is don't trust the motherboard's probe.

i recon air bubles or your pump is not powerfull enought. to get rid of air bubles put a T piece in the highest part of the system, any air bubles should get trapped in the top tube

what kind of pump you using?

[m4a2t0t]

im using the RIO 600,it should be pumping well over 100GPH
there isnt any air in the system either,well im pretty sure;)
maybe ill try to put a temp probe in there and see

[Warlord2]

you need a bigger pump

100gph isnt enough for 3 blocks and a ddcube

try to get a 300gph or so pump

it could also be that your temps are just wrong

Check out the 400 GPH pump here at leufkentechnologies.com (http://www.leufkentechnologies.com/). The price is right and it looks like a very capable pump.

why is such a big pump needed?

i bought a temp probe,will be here next week

take the fan from your old HSF combo and point it at the waterblock on your cpu. i'd be willing to place money on the in socket probe dropping in temps from 5 to 10C.

when i do this, the probe touching the side of my core doesn't drop at all, while the in socket probe drops a lot. somehow the airflow in and around the socket probe messes with the readings. so when you measure temps from a waterblock, the in socket probe is never (at least none that i have seen) close to accurate, they're always pretty high.
