hmmm... I am getting 33c on FULL load and 30c idle during the day and at night 27c under load (playing RCW) for a few hours. I am using a DD setup (Maze2, super cube, 1050 pump with 2 120mm fans running 7volts on the rad). I am measuring the temps by the onboard sensor and a DD5 with probes on each side of the die. These two probes are within 2mm of the die so the temps are pretty close I hope.

You sure you got all of the air out of the system? I let mine run for 8 hours and then moved the CPU/GPU blocks around to get the air out. I then shook the radiator a few times to ensure all of the air is out. You'd be amazed how any bubbles come out of the blocks and radiator once they are rattled.

The other possiblity is your waterblock isn't removing enough heat.

YES, I used a shim this time!

Setup:

MSI KT266 Pro-2 RU
PC 2700 DDR
XP1800+ running 1.72 g (155x 11.5)
Enermax 465 watt PS
GF3 Ti500
