I just put my WC to my system.
The Temps are, sooo high.
45c idle, 52c FL with 1.88voltage.

I am using 1/2" 250GPH Dan pump,
SiderWinder WB and CoolerCore Rad.
I have checked everything make sure that the waterblock
has touch with the core of the cpu, but still no luck.

Need help.

Thanks.
 
Is that closed loop or do you have a res?

If it's closed, I heard it's a pain to get the air out.

Did you lap the block.
Does the water have to go uphill alot? Maybe it's goin too slow.
Is there a fan on the rad?
How many? What size?

I would try doing things to figure it out like putting more air to the rad. I mean like temporary stuff. Like a house fan on it and see what happens.

I had a problem with my first wc setup where I had air stuck in the rad. I shook it up to get all the air out while it was running and the temps went down.

What are the water temps?
What is the ampient air temp?
Hope this helps.
 
Thats a closed loop.
I bleed out the air before i put it in.(Followed from procooling)
Didn't use a T fitting.
Well it comes with a 120mm Fan.
But is LOUD to put it in.
So i used a 92mm pulling and a 80mm blowing.
Going to get a 2 120mm this weekend.

I am not sure about the water temp, but is kinda warm.

what happens when u put the 120mm fan on? also, it is better to have the same fan blowing in and out of the rad, that way you dont create turbulece of pressure inside the rad.
 
Like he said, get somemore air on it and see what happens.
Did you shake the rad to see if there was any pockets of air in there?
How hot is it in your house?
 
Well, i tried to put on the Delta 12cm Fan.
Idle went down to 29c WITH 1.75 voltage 1.2Ghz.
And Full load at 34-35.

I think i'll put 2 low speed 12cm fan.
That will help reduce my temp.
