Where can I put my 360 Rad. in my soon to be New Case ??

[t_ski]

Well, I just put my watercooling loop back in my rig (first time for the Intel setup). I know mine's a different mobo, and a GO CPU, but with everything at stock and only the CPU being cooled by the rad, I'm getting near ambient temps on idle. Of course, it's cold here and the furnace is on, but the temps kicked down on the thermostat for the night.

isnt coretemp the only one to read the temps on a GO cores

well it went down lil lol

its a 3GHz right might try it to see how much the GO's are cooler

and rooms about 69F

I was just going by the cpu temp there not the core temps. And yeah, it's a G0 - that's the reasons I bought it

oh lol mines at 26c CPU with 1.35v cores 33c whats yours at load with ORTHOS Small ?

WRONG. have a read through these forums/subforums.

EDIT: i think im not understanding ur post fully. i could be wrong. those links are a wealth of info for watercooling. the RAD is the MAJOR factor to cooling ability in a watercooled system. a watercooling system ALWAYS reaches an equillibrium.

What He was saying was that the order DOES matter. Water cooling is a daisy chain,

water goes into loop > removes heat from GPU > heated water > removes heat from CPU, goes back to rad.

That means the CPU's cooling performance is somewhat worse, due to the heated water transferring some heat to the waterblock itself. The radiator is there to just bring the water temperatures back down by dissipating heat. If we were to operate under your logic, there wouldn't be a need for a radiator in the loop!

If we reverse the setup, the CPU gets the "fresh" water, which means that it will run cooler. The GPU will run warmer, but not by much however, due to the fact that the CPU doesn't generate much heat normally (Unless you're overclocking though...)

The order IS important.

32c

DOM,

Is 34C your idle temp? Judging by the 1.53Vcore you are going to be making some heat. What is your OC, still @ 3.6? If your ambient is 20C (69F) your delta is about 14C, you'd have to give the details of the rest of your setup while you're getting those temps. (ie. GPU OC, MCH volts, etc.) That pump is going to add a little more heat dump than the old one, just to help explain the temps.


Fill us in on the whole scenario and let's see what's happenin'!

heres the link 4 ya.

no point in me being lazzzzzzy.

 

[t_ski]

The order of components makes a difference of less than 0.5ºC in most watercooling systems. The physics:

pump---->radiator---->CPU---->pump
pump---->CPU---->radiator---->pump

That's only with a basic loop, though. When you start adding extra blocks, the last block in the series is going to have all the heat from the other blocks as well. When it gets to the rad, the rad and fans remove the heat and it starts all over again.

wat r u saying exactly? be more specific.

r u arguing with wat marci, cathar, billA and everyother watercooling guru have posted?

it is a MOOT point. the most recorded difference would b like .2-.3 deg c (.5deg MAX) which equals to what? SFA!

shortest lengths of tube and least amount of bends are key when building/designing ur loop.

pic of the new loop

been lazy to post it lol

 

[intel igent]

lookin nice

temps better or worse?

well right now the cores are the same but the cpu is 1c cooler lol but its hotter in here right now let me get my temp gage to see what the room temp is at

thats ur current temps and order?

 

[DOM]

thats ur current temps and order?

no that was before and after, bottom one is how the loop is now (Res>Pump>Rad>CPU>GPU>NB>SB>Res) MX-2

current temp is with room temp 77f with 42% humidity
