This is my setup it is not cooling as well as I would like. What am I doing wrong?
1- VP6 w/ dual 800E's running 920mhz at 1.8v
2- 650w Enermax PS
3- 256MB pc133
4- New Dangerden cooling blocks, cold plates, 80w pelts, arctic siver.
5- New Becooling water res w/pump and smallish 120m radiator w/ 2 120m fans one on each side pushing the air out.
6- dionized water w/ small amount of Purple Ice and anitfreeze.
7- pretty good amount of silicone and foam around plates and pelts.
8- dielectric greese on cpu's
Anyway...I can get pretty low temps (not as low as I expected) at idle. About 44F and run about 50F under normal use. The problem is as soon as I run Seti@Home or any graphics games the temps run upto about 90F. This is not what I was expecting. I have not done this before and could use some help. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Bruce
