Default Re: Funky Swissflow readings?

hmmm, what consitutes a load? When I wake up the computer from standby, temps are around 30C for the CPU per the ASUS PC Probe and T-Bal reports 34C. I have the analogue sensor mounted on the edge of the IHS of the CPU.

After running CPUBurn for 10 minutes both the ASUS PC Probe and T-Bal report 37C. The water temp is always within a half degree cooler. Both CPUs appear to be running at about 50% capacity per WTM.

Strangely, the readings from the Swissflow have increased to around 3,000 impulses per minute; 50% improvement. Still unexceptional but odd just the same.

Also the meter itself is a huge restriction. You might want to take the meter out of the loop and hook it up with just a pump and as short amount of tubeing as possible and see what it says then. That would rule out the rad and the water block if it still reads low.
