Since I know LS7Corvette posts here, just a few questions.
What's the CPU being used?
Is the CPU overclocked?
What happens when running something like BurnK7 when CPU is overclocked?
Is there a fan actively running on the heater-core? It looked like it but wasn't sure. |
It is a 3000+ winchester running at 280*9 1.56v(DMM tested). I have not tested stock settings with this setup, Idle will get too low and I have to worry about condensation. Those are not my CPUs max, but close enough for testing purposes. I should have put this in the article but I think the comparison to my old setup is more meaningful.
I will try BurnK7 but for now I am happy with a 42c prime temp(overclocked). Yes there is one fan on my HC. I am using a chevette with no shroud, I should be able to put my bonneville(dual 120 ) core in and see an improvement.
LHG, I believe that a fluid with a higher thermal expansion should give better flow rates and possibly better temps than water, water has an unusually low thermal expansion. I am beting over 100$ on this.....
A couple degrees from improved HC and a couple from a better coolant and I can call it a storm killer. heh.
EDIT: Burnk7 shows 48c, makes it look rather shitty like that. Lol.
