hi,
after building my 1st rig and getting temp readings for idle/load, i'm left wondering if these #s represent a good effort or not? here's the specs followed by the temps: prescott 3.2 @ stock voltage(this is the only waterblock) the w/c system consists of a 2-302 core, mcp-350 using 90% 1/2" tubing, two 6.75" papst fans drawing about 130cfm through the core, all mounted in an external enclosure. the room temp was 74F, idle was 42C and load was 50C. i thought this is on the high side but i've nothing to compare this to?(read, i don't know jack for w/c experience)
