I'm glad you're happy with your new mobo!
I took some time this afternoon to waterproof the temp probe of a thermometer I purchased (ordinary inside/outside home thermometer). I gave it to a friend who has similar thing at his home, but several times beter/expensive, to see if this one I got is and how accurate. I guess it was a good purchase, cos' temps compared with his thermo was in +/- 0.2 C difference ((I guess I can take the temps with +/- 0.5 C error margin)
Today I measured some temps on my setup:
fans @ 7V:
idle cpu 33 C, water 30.0 C, rad intake 25.3 C
full load cpu 38 C, water 30.8 C, rad intake 25.6 C
fans @ 12 V
idle cpu 32 C, water 28 C, rad intake 24.8 C
full load cpu 36 C, water 28.8, rad intake 24.8 C
It surprises me that the water temp (took it right after the block, the only place I can insert the probe without problems) is oscillating within the 1 C range.
Also, in best case, (water 28, rad intake 24.8), delta is 3.2 C, thats if I'm not mistaken 3.2 C above ambient, temps taken behind the block. So, anybody, pls comment these temps, in any way...
