I just got from a chubby wallet deal and installed a koolance PC2-601BW .

I am getting liquid coolant temp of 23 c 75 f from the lcd on top of my case and nivdia system utility is telling me that my cpu is 44 c and system 24 c. is this high for cheap water cooling?

According to koolance
"
Actual system temperatures can vary based on many factors. In general, your CPU die temperature will be 10-20oC (18-36oF) above the Koolance LED display (coolant temperature), depending on the processor type. The liquid coolant will be 4-14oC (7.2-25.2oF) above ambient, depending on power duration, system stress, and the Koolance cooling "mode" selection."

Did I do something wrong on install? I only have a watering cooling block on the cpu. I did not trim the tubing that came prehooked up, it didnt seem excessively long.

Also am i suppose to take off the plastic guard that is attached under the radiator? its clear.

I got the system because the noise was driving me nuts from my aero flow so the temps are ok for me, just wondering if i am doing something wrong or is this typical of a cheap water cooling system like Koolance

thanks

Man, I wish I knew more about water cooling so I could help you out. But as for the performance I'd be kinda frustrated too, I get 34c with air cooling. I bet somebody would be able to help you out if you posted here: EOC Watercooling
