Does this belong in the extreme thread?
I am thinking of going to an external water cooler - external to the case - with a Peltier cooler on the input to the case. I can put the radiator in the basement, etc.
I have the H80 and am at 64C package/core temperature at 100% load, with 30C
ambient. So far, I have not detected any clock modulation, by reading the MSR's.
The LGA 2011 BP 11D2B1 socket has a shiny 3/16" backing plate on the back side of the
motherboard. Looking at the back side of the MB, at 64C package temperature, the upper right corner of this plate is uncomfortable to touch. The other three corners are cooler. The right side is warmer than the left side. My IR thermometer gives an
absurdly low reading on this shiny metal plate!
If I reduce the coolant temperature to 10C at the inlet to the heatsink, will I see any
improvement in the ability to OC? I know I will have to insulate the inlet coolant pipe to prevent condensation.
I can not find a specification for the thermal resistance of the Core i7 3930K. Intel
only spec's this as a function of power dissipation, 0.18*power+43.4C. I see the core
temperatures and the package temperatures approximately the same, within 2 or 3
degrees C
What is the temperature drop across the headsink-case junction with good thermal
compound?
