current load temp @ 3ghz, 1.5v, is 31c, while water temp is 30c. The 120mm radiator is not quite enough cooling for the cpu tho, and i am noticing a slow rise in temps. I tried priming overnight @ 3ghz, 1.45v, and woke up to a frozen windows boot, water temp @ 48c...cpu temp must be a bit higher.


This little escapade has proven, to me at least, the the temps reported on this board are false. I'll be taking everything apart later today and mounting a thermal diode next to the cpu die, to try to get some more accurate readings.

Oh, and case is a NZXT Lexa.

I'll be moving the watercooling over to the x1900 Crossfire rig at a later date...this test was to confirm/deny the plausibility of adding those two infernos to the cooling loop...looks like the next rad is a BIX III.

I'll be putting some ice into the coolant to lower temps further, at which point i know 3.3ghz will be doable...last night i had the water down to 4c, running 3.35ghz @ 1.78v.
