Just rebuilt my rig the other day with the microcenter 2500K/P8P67 Pro combo and have been doing some stress testing.
Currently testing my rig at 4.7ghz as it's the highest I've gotten and have still been able to have S3 sleep fully functional.
Testing with the latest version of prime95 I could find v26.6 build 3
So I'm thinking maybe this is normal....But my water temp has slowly been climbing and has stabalized after about 30 minutes or so of small fft torture test. I don't have any fancy sensor in my loop. I just kinda use my idle GPU temps as a base for the increase in water temperature. When I started the prime95 my idle GPU temp was 33*C and it currently climbed up to 38*-39*C goes back and forth between the two. Primitive way to guess the water temp rise but seems like it works!
Case is a Cooler Master HAF 932
My water cooling setup has the following items with the loop in the order that they are listed.
Swiftech MCP355 with XSPC Acetal Top
XSPC RX240 top mounted with 2 120mm Scythe SFF21E's in pull configuration
Swiftech Apogee XT
Black Ice Xtreme X-Flow 120.1 Radiator mounted to rear of case with a single 120mm Scythe SFF21E in pull configuration
Heatkiller GPU-X 58x0 full water block
XSPC mini resevoir
Using the standard 1/2" hose and barbs distilled water and a silver coil in the resevoir.
A visual if it's confusing
Would faster fans help? Larger upper rad?
Thanks
