Hello to all,

I am just about to go over to water cooling and i am in the final stages! I am being held up by pipes but nearly there! but a question i would like to ask you all who watercool is:

What were your temp drops in degree c? after taking the plunge into water cooling from fan cooling?

thank you all

On my system I'm getting around 30*C idle and 32*C under load. I have never used my system with fans so I couldn't tell you what it would be with them.

used to get around 51c idle, 54c load with air cooling, then i installed a duct and dropped to 41c/48c then i went water cooling, and now i'm at 34c/37c on average

with a mcx370 27cfm ys-tech and a 40cfm duct I got about 20 degrees c above case temp, average 45-50 degrees c with W/C all ways reads 4-5 degrees above case temp, average 28-30 highest i've seen was 34 on a 30 degree day, it doesnt seem to change under load.

my XP1600 (1400Mhz stock ) overclocked to 1760Hhz, is 39 degrees under load.

I don't think it'd ever get that high with air cooling, but then again, i've never tried.

But well done for watercooling, its fun and you'll never go back to air after you feel the silence that watercooling has got to offer.

sorry those air cooling temps where a tbird, I shouldnt post at 2 in the morning (duu...I like shrimp)
ya i'm realy happy with my h2o setup, I wish I knew what car my heatercore is out of its all copper and about 5x10x2 I have 2 ys-tech 131cfm 120mm drawing air through it. I am only runing @1.775 volts so the heat load isnt realy that high, I had it @2.0 volts today and I went up to 7 degrees above room temp.

On the sig below I went from the stocks hsf units @ 52C load and am now at 36C load.

[eh?]

how can you not use a fan? you have the water running all over open to the air to cool down? or is the rad sitting on a fridge and the water is moving through to fast to proplery cool it?

hi guys

this is great the temp drop isnt just minimal is big! i'm looking forward to getting mine in, just stuck on pipes i got some pipe with it but it sucks!!!

so need to find some decent stuff i know tygon is good but i'm in the UK and tygon here is probably an all in wrestler or something not many people know watercooling and if you mention it they look at you funny! water and electric they say dont mix!

I say get out more....

its a pain i'm all relayd for pump and everything its all there waiting on fiding pipe that meets the spec, you wouldnt belive it would you guys?

but thank you for the temps is great and also i have noticed via the forums that an 1600amd xp overclocks excellant, those o/c's you get are great i have a 1600 in a backup rig! agoia i think?

cheers all thx for posting.......

absolutely i saw a 8 deg drop in load temps and now i dont have to scream in my room for people to hear me lol. lower temps at lower noise thats wats h20 for.

Air cooled and loud: 58c full load....53ish idle (I don't quite remember)

Watercooling and stealth-like: 41 full load and 37ish idle.

I love it.

No I was saying that I have never used a fan to cool my CPU/GPU that's why I could not report to him "air" cooling temps.

Of course I use a fan to pull air through the radiator.
