thanks guys,
at the moment i have the tubes 1.5mm into the cups and the cups are 3.5mm wth a 4mm base. i understand now that getting the depth of the tubes is just as important as the space of the cups and the shape of the cups.
if the tubes are to short then the funnel shape will not hit the tub/cup walls with full effect. I will take a guess that if they are too long this will have a negitive effect on performance too.
this is proving to be a challange but i wont give up.
My supply of copper is buzzbar and all the pieces i have are 10mm thick so i have to cut the copper in half each time. at least i can make 2 bases from it.
bb2k for my room temps i have a digital thermometer. It's never moved when i am testing and when i look at my 3 temp probes.
1. probe glued to the underside of the cpu.
2. aquarium water probe in the fill/bleed line
3. the digital therometer
they all show the same temps +- 0.2C in the morning.
it was strange as my temp readings are normaly very close.
i am currently calibrating a joystck probe for the rig i use for testing so at least i will have the same probes for cpu , water in , water out and room temps and they will all be recorded.
A friend made an smbus temp reader from an lm83 chip for me but MBM5 does not reconize it even in the smbus data dump.
I guess my mobo has a problem with it.
