Temps before and after LCing

[evoted]

Hello, i finally got around to install the liquid cooling system on my computer, and before i took it apart i had 38/39C 0% load and now with LC i got 34/36C 0%, i got my E6750 @ 3.33, should i apply more Arctic Silver 5? or should i let it run more and give it time to settle. ambient temp is about 37C according to rivatuner.

Is a single loop with the D-tek V2, PA120.2, 2 D12M pulling, i am mainly using distilled water and 2 drops of PT Nuke (is that enough?).

Thanks a lot.

Idle temps don't mean much, compare load temps, water is good at handling lots of heat, whereas air isnt.

oohh ok, then i got about 12C drop diff...i went from 57C @100% load to 45C.

would it make any diff if i add another 2 YL D12SM-12 pushing?

thanks a lot for the respond.

On the PA rads, you will only see a few percent difference using push/pull, so no, it won't make any appreciable difference.

Yea, 2 drops is fine. And those temps aren't bad at all. Your ambient room temp or the air thru the rad makes a big diff. You taking room air thru the rad and whats your ambient temps?

Not bad at all, and quiet as heck I bet. Try undervolting the fans a bit, bet your temps stay as good and less noise.
