ATTN: Watercooling experts

[SuperPickle]

After months of getting my air-cooled machine breathing, I've gone to water but need some experience against which I may bench my marks . Please post your relative temps...I know that actual temps vary for different mobos so I am interested in differences. Thanks a bunch.

T-bird 1.33@1.58
Case: 26º
CPU: 39º full-load
13º difference

Also: Overall performance--what's more important, a great radiator or waterblock?

T-bird 1.4ghz at 1480... i'm a big overclocker! lol

default voltage.. 1.70 i think

case is inbetween 70f and 75f

CPU full load is 65f

idle is 55f

i can keep my temp below 50f tho.. heh that's because i use a 172w peltier tho 🙂

Thanks for the reply. although this info isn't what I asked for exactly, it is useful to me. GoldMember, would you mind telling me what pump, block, and radiator you use? also your fan action? I'd like to get a feel for how good my H2O has to be to handle a larger-and-in-charge pelt. Thanks.

i'm running a dangerden maze2-1
360GPH pump.. not an eheim.. i carry my own line of true speed pumps.
1/2" tubing..
dangerden supercube all copper
120mm fan 114CFM...

air goes through my radiator and comes out into an aluminum vent tubing .. if you vent the hot air away from the back of your radiator you'll get better temps.
