I setup a watercooling system.
basic setup:
Aquastream USB pump
spliter to make 2 loops
each loop has a 4fan 120mm rad
water block - Swiftech Apogee XT
MB - Striker II Extreme
Processor - Intel Dual Core Quad 2.83 GHZ (Q9550)
When I run SpeedFan and look at the numbers I get (while idling)
temp 1,2,3 26C, 13C, 35C
Core 0,1,2,3 40C, 34C, 34C, 41C
Flow Sensors are supposed to be set at 2800 impulses/l but software resets to 2500
I figure this is close, but just so you know the next numbers are not 100% accurate because of this
Innovatek FlowMeter Pro 3.6
loop1 - CPU is about 28 l/hr the front panel said something like 0.46 l/m
loop2 - MB (ASUS Striker II extreme) about 38 l/h
When I add load (playing World of Warcraft) the temps don't move much only about 3 degrees more
but this is enough for SpeedFan to say that Core 0 and 2 are too high at 43 degrees.
Inline water temp sensors show 19.5 to 20.5C after the rads on both loops
I have inline water temp sensors between the heat sources and rads too but I can't seem to get either one of them to give me a good reading.
one of them always says 3.6 the other is always 0. Not sure what is wrong with them.
I have some thoughts about this myself, but for the sake of getting new opinions I will wait to here what you think about these numbers.
So what do these numbers mean to you / how do they compare to your other computers?
Thanks
