BIP II not enough for e7200?

yea a lack of flow thru the cpu/rads would be causing it. as per foot does as some loss of water flow.. from one of the articles on the main page for good cooling at least 1GPH flow rate needs to be maintained thru the loop. some blocks dont improve cooling wise with a flow rate higher then 1GPH. im going to lunch soon but i will look for those articles when i get back for you..

*edit*
i forgot to say that the loss of water flow will depend more on the pump then the amount of tubing.

Having a res doesnt help the issue either... i bet once you cut to the length you need for the wcing setup your temps will drop a touch more.

that would be the star but here other articles that helped me in the past to understand wcing more after reading that one.

Update...re-did my loop, down to about 2ft or less, Res > Pump > Block > Rad. Using a different radiator this time...MCR220...temps are exactly the same...under Prime95 STRESS hitting a max of 63C @ 4.05 w/ 1.386vCore - 54C Load at minimum...I swear it should be running cooler...I've mounted and mounted and re-mounted every which way...
 
Just lapped the IHS 400, 600 & 1000...ketshup test shows perfect flatness...bolted down nice and tight...lets see how temps are now
 
I really think you are looking to much into this. Temps look fine. Thats alot of vcore and it is a 7200. Your chip could have bad contact between IHS and the cores which is completely out of your control.
 
E7200 IHS should not be soldered, so technically you can, still dangerous, that's the reason the cores run a bit hotter as well.
 
lower end C2D's have the IHS "glued" on, weither(E7200) this falls into the lower end is hard to say.
 
When I de-lidded my A64...I used a razor to start it and fishing line to finish the job. Think it would be worth it? It's going to be under water as well obviously.
 
DO NOT DE-LID AN INTEL CHIP!!!!
Check my thread "I lapped too much". All that will happen is the retention bracket will block the Block from reaching the core.
