are these temps right?

CommanderZero · 07-January-08, 07:43 PM

i tried epoxing my pump impeller instead of crazy glue, so seems to be holding up so far. i got my loop hooked up, but something doesnt seem right about my temps. i added in my video card block into the loop, and my temps before used to be 30c on the CPU. now my CPU is reading 45c idle and my GPU is reading 48 idle. would adding in the GPU block add to a almost 20c increase? i have a prescott 2.8 (soon a e6750) and a 7950gt. i also did move the rad. i was thinking maybe theres a little bit of air restriction because of the new loop setup im using. heres some pictures of my loop before and after. if i should note, the rad is a lot more hot from before.

did i little but of out of box testing, seems that airflow is the problem. not the grill, but the meshing under the fans, between the fans and rad. guess i got a little more cutting to do.

bought some high airflow fans also, that brought down the temps about 10c.

if you think about it GPU's produce quite a bit of heat. most of them crunch as much power if not more than regular processors and their thermal dissipation is very similar. Adding another waterblock with a high end graphic processor on the other end definitely could increase your temps...but I always test one mod at a time unless I am dead sure. If you apply a ton of changes to your rig and then encounter something confusing there's almost no way to find out other than through the process of elimination. Good to hear that a couple of higher CFM fans can make that much of a difference though..hope they're worth the added noise

theyre actually not that loud, im used to worse, like the rattling of a L30 with a half broken impeller. plus before the switch, my system was almost dead silent, so im not complaining. maybe i should buy a fan controller though...
