temps with my new res setup

[peewee]

well my temps with the pump mounted outside went down 4c! now im at 35c at 1.55ghz and 1.8 volts... and my moboard temp is at like 31c room temp is 28c....is that good??

Good to hear . I assume you still have it mounted inside the case and the case is closed? Do you have the pump between the fan and reservoir or the other way around (assuming you have the radiator and fan at the lower front of the case)?

the radiator is on top by my power supply, the res is on the bottom, i have a 120mm fan suckin through the rad and i have 4 120mm's on order i dont have my case closed cauz i dont have any fans but the on on the rad and powerspply..the pump is a little warm so maybe i'll install a small fan next to it to cool it down... its a mag drive so it should be ok...

ARRRRG! my temps are exacally the same didint give time to stable.. i'm still only at 40c at 1.55 thoo....
owell.. guess mounting the pump outside dont matter... weird cauz the pump gets warm..

Mount the radiator outside the case and I bet your temps will drop a lot. It is inconveinent though, I know.

Although your temps are spanking the hell out of mine right now. The Asus probe says temps are at 55c right now. So I'm assuming thats 45c. From what I've heard the probe registers 10c higher then actual temp. This is with my 1.2 gig @ 1.3 gigs only. I can get well over 1.4 gigs but I'm running to warm. I start getting a little concerned! I'm still working out some of my watercooling issues. The rad is fine, But I could use a new pump and waterblock I think. The waterblock is actually a PIII slot 1 waterblock. I had to put 90 degree barbs on to make it work. As well as make a clamp to hold it on. And the pump is an inline Rio 200 gph pump. I think the water flow is to restricted, and thats causing the temps to rise.

Only thing is I don't have the money right now for a new waterblock and pump. So I'll have to stick it out with what I've got right now. I just won't overclock any higher. I may even drop it down to 1200mhz till I get it all fixed. Even at 1200mhz it wups my old PIII 800 @ 1000mhz! This new board, cpu and Radeon 64 are awesome!

i had it outside my case but i wanted it inside the case caz i dont want the kid or dog yanking out a hose and me turning on a waterfall in my comp.. which i did bye mistake once! :'(

which way should the fan be its pullin air through the rad but i have the fan inside the case pullin air in... so isint it pullin hot air in??? should i turn it around so it pulls air through the rad and out the casE?

 

[bdf24]

I'm not sure if you would get any better results pulling the air from the case. It's warmer then the air outside the case. It's a toss up I guess. When you get some more case fans it should be better. Then you can have some intake fans in front and exhaust fans in the back. Then close your case up and you should get much better system temps.

ok i messes around and now i got 39c for cpu and 29c for moboard should be a lil lower woth the fans i havent installed yet

 

[bdf24]

The case fans will effect your motherboard temps a lot more then your cpu temps. But it may drop your cpu temps a few c.

yeah but my moboard temp isat 29 now and my room temp is 28, wonder if it can go lower than28???

 

[bdf24]

no, if your room temp is @ 28 you wont get it any lower then that. I don't think 28's bad. Thats cool enough for me.
