XSPC Rasa 750 RS360, Intel 2500 temps normal for this kit?

[Killamaker]

The idle temps are;
Core 0: 26C
Core 1: 30C
Core 2: 23 C
Core 3: 23 C

The max with Prime95 is;
Core 0: 40C
Core 1: 47-48C
Core 2: 40C
Core 3: 40C

Are these temps acceptable for the this water cooling kit? I've only had this kit for two days, and I expect that once the thermal compound sets the temp will be better.

Those temperatures are fine. Your ambients are probably around 20C, so your idle temps are great. Also, your load temperatures are good. 40C is nothing to scoff at (air can easily get above 50C), but that one core is interesting. I wonder if your block is seated a little off.

As for temperatures getting better, most thermal compounds don't need to set fully anymore. They aren't AS5 anymore. They're usually good to go the first day.

 

[Killamaker]

Yeah, the one core has always been like that. Even with the air cooler. Dunno why though. But thanks for the confirmation about this, just wanna make sure I didn't do something wrong. 😀
I also did use AS5... :3

Also, do you think I could add a GTX 570 onto this loop? I have the 3x120 Rad version too. If not, I'll just add another 120 after the CPU block.

 

[PCTC2]

I think you can. It won't be as chilly as it is now, but it won't be super hot either. I had a Core i7 920 @ 3.9 GHz (can you say monster heater?) with a GTX 260 on a single Thermochill PA 120.3 and it was decently fine with temperatures.

I'd say do it, and if it's not up to your standards, then add another 120.

 

[Killamaker]

Yeah, I can agree with it not being as chilly. Mostly because my 570 runs super hot with Folding@Home (90C). Thanks for the input, really appreciate it!

Looks good to me. Really tempted to get one of these kits with the RX240 for my 2600K.
