My Water Cooling Temps

[snick525]

Pretty good I'd imagine? It's on a C2D 6600. I'm going to see how far I can overclock it tomorrow when I have more time.

I have a E6600 also, that reading is not acurate. Mine read 25C but Coretemp.exe report the cores are at 41C.

Reading with Core Temp.

Dude where do you live? It must be really cold inside your room. The lowest I got with my cpu is 25c, water cooled of course.

Missouri... well I'd have to say my room was at least 64 degrees unless ASUS probe is just way off. I just assume the reading is from far away from the chip.

 

[mcain591]

that sounds about right.
Remember, theoreticly speaking, water cooling can only cool down to the ambient room temp. and yours was 64.

UPDATE:

I need to shut my window...

 

[mcain591]

if its still 64 degrees in there, then i am at a loss for words.

 

[snick525]

No it was like 59... which is why I said I needed to shut my window

I can easily believe that. I live in the cozy state of Minnesota, you know, we get that white stuff that falls and sometimes it is just too goddamn cold for it to fall 😛 If you have been in actual cold, not "oh my its cold out, i better grab a sweatshirt" you know what happens when you breathe. Your nostrils stick together 8O

I have my windows open right now and I'm running ambient of 14C. I am hopefully getting a water kit in the next two weeks and should see some nice temps. My D805 usually idles 4C over ambient and loads about 14-17 over.

What kind of kit are you running? My 7800 GT CO idles at 35 even when my ambient is in the 23-24 area. (stock copper cooler, fan at 20%)

Thermaltake Armor built in water cooling. It seems to do pretty well, granted I have limited experience with water cooling (read: None). But my 7900GS went from about 65ish idle to around 39 at and down to 34 depending on my room temp. And my C2D dropped about 10 degrees or so.

I live down here in Texas. We don't know what the white stuff in the air is, in fact, "cool" for us means we can walk outside with maybe a long-sleeved shirt, a sweater if it gets into "record" temps...

On the plus side, we barely use heaters and humidifiers!

which water block you r using? My koolance CPU300 is not doing its job, want to replace it.

I'm using the kit I linked 2 posts up. Just using the supplied water block.
