greetings all. i'm looking for some professional opinions, thought this would be the place.
down to business... i installed a danger den maze 4 cooling kit on my 2500 OCd to 2.08 ghz on a Asus A7N8X deluxe. the setup uses 1/2" tubing, a BIE radiator, res, L30 pump and a single antec 120mm fan with shroud. now then, since i have a full tower case, there was a bit of extra space in the top. i mounted the rad and res to the ceiling of the case, cutting holes for the the fan and res cap. my flow chain is as follows. pump out > rad > res > waterblock > pump in
my temps are as follows:
ambient: 20 C
MB: 21 C
proc idle: 31-32 C
proc load: 33-34 C
all temps measured with latest version of Asus probe. (i know, already inaccurate) in any case, i know that according to some, it is best to have the flow chain reversed from what i have so that the pump outlet is forcing water to the block. my question is, do my temps seem reasonable, and would you expect to see drastic increases in performance if i changed my flow direction? thanks for your time...
