Ok, so I finally made the jump into water cooling, and picked a Corsair Nautilus. Definitely not the best but decent and cheap... Wish I woulda did my research about WC and I wish I would found this forum before I made the jump, now I'm broke and can't afford a DIY
I'm only using this to cool my E6700 Conroe, and nothing else. I don't care much about noise, just peformance.
Temps @ 3.50Ghz/1.45v 41 idle ----- 55-60load (cool and stable)
Temps @ 3.7Ghz/1.5v 51 idle ----- 65-70load (stable but throttling)
(The extra 100mhz OC from 3.5 to 3.6+ needs alot more juice to run stable...)
Now I know you guys are gonna tell me to start from scratch and to do it right( 1/2 tubing, thermochill, strom yadda yadda yadda) , but I was looking for a cheap upgrade
Will switching to a aquaxtreme mp05 waterblock help with temps, or should I add another radiator? The Nautilus only has 1 120mmfan/radiator. I modded it with a 90cfm fan. (-2c)
I'm looking for a 3-5c drop in temps.
Any advice would be great! Thanks again guys.
