Couple of problems. Going from 3/8 inch to 1/4 like that isnt really a good idea. Your killing your flow over your video card. You should really use the same size tubing all the way through with the least amount of tubing size reducers. Also with that splitter you have setup its killing your flow and could be hurting your temps. Your best bet is to get a new video card block get rid of those adaptors and run an all 3/8 setup with as little 90 degree bends/reducers/adaptors like that as possible.

Couldn't agree more, but his temps are probably still better than mine currently. Of course, I am on air... and in Texas.

Hey guys, thanks for the input, I actually have an Acetal MAZE4 (3/8) block from DD that I need to install on it. my idle temps with that setup in the pic were ~41C gpu (~38C cpu). I've been having serious issues latley that I first assumed were system/software, but now wonder if it's hardware, guess I should make a new post about though. that comp has been sick for a few months now.

The HX is up against the side panel window, the rear exaust fan pulls across it .my cpu temps didnt change a bit. cpu 31c ~ 38c loaded.

do you have a side case fan? or is the rear exhaust fan pulling in air via vent holes?

your side fan - is that intake or exhaust? (sorry if I am asking again - forget if I've asked before).

<--- trying to figure out what the flow characteristics are like just in general terms.
