Uh I've been watercooling since about June of 2002 and my water has always been about 3-5 degrees over ambient temp and I have been using basically the same setup since I started just different processors. Anyway I am still using the same candy thermometer that gave me the 3-5º over ambient and a couple of weeks ago it reversed now it is as much as 5ºF under ambient even using different thermometers to measure they all say below ambient. My question is do any of you have water at sub ambient temps without ice or whatever and just a radiator and fan?
Edit: I think I have an idea why they are sub-ambient. A while back my spir@ls lexan or whatever cracked so I didn't have anything but my old block but no clamp so I used air. And then for some reason I decided to put my radiator in boiling pot of tap water to clean my radiator but it didn't it just made the black kind of white so I am thinking that is calcium deposits possibly aiding in my cooling???
