Hi guys,
For WC-setup details see my sig.
My CPU temps (from on die diode) and coolant temps (from 10K NTC after radiator and fishtank thermometer in airtrap) only decrease 1 to 1.5°C when I increase the radiator fan voltage from 6.5V to 12V (independent from ambient temp and CPU load, I get always a decrease of 1 to 1.5°C).
Does that mean my radiator can't cope with the increased air flow (heat exchange does not increase much more)?
Or does that mean my rad is so good that almost maximum heat exchange is achieved with lower airflow?
I'm a little confused by the tiny temp delta...
For memory, my rad is the (now obsolete) BeCooling
AquaCoil II .
It's a cube style rad with two 3/8" parallel waterways of 10 passes each and 1/2" connections. The 86CFM Panaflo M1A is sucking air through a 1.5" shroud and radiator air intake is separated from the case.
I first used a Panaflo L1A (for silence) and I thought airflow was too low.
Motherboard Monitor Idle (Ambient temp=25°C and Panaflo M1A radiator fan at 6.5V). CPU was running 2250MHz at time of picture.
Idem 100% CPU load with Prime95 Torture test after half an hour (coolant temp oscillated between 26 & 27°C).
Could you please post your thoughts, and if possible your temp differences between min & max airflow?
Thanks,
CD
