Hey guys, I'm new to OC'ing so bare with me here.
I picked up a Zalman Reserator 1 and so far it is running smoothly, however I would like the load temp to go down a little bit. Right now it peaks at 56C, and idles at 43-44C.
There is no kinks in the tubing, and the water is warm, 84
Degrees is what my water temp reads.
The CPU block is seated with AS5 so its not the seating or the compound - what else can it be?
I can only imagine that the temperature will go up once I install my VGA block.
What is the next alternative? Stick my radiator in the fridge? Drill a hole and place it outside? Or get a big room fan to blow air on it?
Right now the tubing goes right behind my monitor, where the reservator sits.
Any ideas?
