Watercooling Temps ?!?!!?

[vfarrand]

I have just gotten the Aquastealth 2 with the upgrade and my temps are running around 110 F.
I have a T-Bird 1.2@1200.
Does that sound right for temps ???

what's the ambient temp?

sounds a bit high to me unless the ambient is fairly high. What did you use for thermal compound and did you lap the water block?

The block has been lapped, I'm using Artic Silver 2, and my ambient room is usually in the low 90s. Right now my T-Bird 1200 is at 1430, running Prime 95, is at 120f.

I live in bakersfield california and it is very hot here so these temps are about right I would say

not too bad considering your ambient temps. Good job!

Good god! Return the water cooling setup and buy yourself a window air conditioner! It may not cool your computer as well (though it might), but you'll sure be alot more comfortable.

See, I thought about doing that, but for the cost of running an air conditioner, I could buy a water cooling setup.
Plus, I am kinda used to the heat.
The room it's in does not have an attic, so it's hot in the summer, cold in the winter....

Good grief man, I get uncomfortable in my house if the temp goes above 77F. I can't imagine 90!

Yeah, kinda sucks but with a fan blowing in the room and a window fan blowing out, it's tolerable.
It's just humid were I live.
