ok, to simply put it, i dont have much energy left to put into my friggin computer... I went from a kingwin as3000 little 2x 5.25 bay liquid cooling system to this monster asetek + swiftech + thermaltake cooling system and now my idle temp is at 40..... instead of ~32-34....
what the hell did i do wrong? i paid like 3x as much for a colling system 1/3rd as good? i do not beleive that the kingwin piece outperforms all this fancy schmancy stuff. no way. na-uh.
i used artic silver 5, which buy the way tastes really good......just kidding, but how much of this stuff should i have used, i used a wee lil dab in the center, it's instruction manual talks about a break in period.... hogwash or legit???
ARGGGHHH. im broke , frustrated , and been working to get this system into my computer so I can continue with some computationally-intensive schoolwork...
im idling at freaking 42 degrees right now.... somone please tell me that the past 3 weeks i spent working on this freakin system were not a total waste...please.
have a nice day.
(and thanks . . . unless you give me worse news)
