The readings I'm listing are from this winter. Just now posting my question. Here's the info:
The
waterblock I machined myself
1800+ DLT3C clocked at 208x11.5=2392mhz (1.8vcore)
Chevette heatercore and a 172mm (rated for 141CFMs; 36dB). The fan is shrouded away from the heatercore about 1.6" (fan is pulling air through).
Eheim 1250
Danderden waterblock on my 9800 Pro (445/370)
The air entering the heatercore is about 23.05C (73.5F)
Air exiting is 28.61C (83.5F)
I have 5/8" barbs on my CPU block and heatercore to not restrict flow (1/2" tubing yes)
I use a T fitting to fill/bleed the system
Pump-->RAD-->T-fitting-->CPU block-->Y-fitting-->GPU block-->Pump
Water temp that was was 32.2C (90.5F).
My NF7-S rev2 reports CPU temps as 49C running prime95. But I have a thermal probe tapped right next to the die of the CPU, w/ Ceramique between the die and probe. That probe reports temps to be around 39C.
Now my main concern is the water temp. The temp was taken from the bleed line, which is after the rad. The chevette heatercore can handle more watts than what I'm throwing at it right? From doing the benchtest.com calculations, the CPU is using 115.2W and C/W is about .23. Then dunno what the C/W would be for the GPU. I would like to figure out if I need a larger heatercore (might do vmod on the 9800 Pro). Or if not, why my water temps are high. Also, I'm wondering which temp reading you think is more accurate.
Thanks for any help.
