Temps seem high to me... q9550 on water...
well my temps seem really high to me... getting 61C 61C 58C 58C according to real temp and core temp (at one point in time I had an x3210 (Intel 65nm Quad, Kentsfield G0) @ 3.2GHz @ 1.18V under load @ 45c 45c 42c 44c... nothing has changed other than the CPU and I didnt open the WC loop when i did this

room temp is around 20-22c

rig:

CPU q9550 E0 Lapped and polished @ 3.82GHz @ 450 x 8.5 @ 1.246v under LinX Load

Mobo: Gigabyte EP45-UD3P

Water Block: Original Danger Den TDX water block, Lapped and Polished and resently cleaned with a #1 nozzle

Pump: Danger Den D4

Radiator: 1977 Bonneville Heater core with custom fan shroud

fans: 2 Thermaltake A1280 120mm fans http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811999113

the fans are pulling thru the radi from outside the case

tubes: Primochill 1/2

route pump --> radi --> block --> t line --> pump

Heatsink goop: AS5

This place is pretty dead now.

What's the delta t for the air in/out of the rad? What's the water temp? Dust in the rad fins?
A heater core is pretty lame on a fast quad core.

air in is 21c air out is 23c

how do you check the water temps with a t line?

how do you figure its lame?

the way I have it setup it should get rid of 400watts with ease

You need a temp sensor built in somewhere.

Thermaltake A1280 120mm Ball Bearing Case Fan
* Static Pressure: 2.97 mmH2O (max)

That's pretty low static pressure.

Skinnee's testing seems to indicate that you should be seeing a delta T much larger that 2°c for air in/out. If you can figure out a way to measure the water temp, you can see where you are on Skinee's chart and perhaps that will show where the problem is. If I had to guess, I'd think you'll find that your water temp is way high.

I don't remember which TDX insert is #1 (I used a TDX pure silver block/lapped for about a year long ago) but I'd try the most restrictive insert. That should be able to pull a little more heat out of the CPU.

well I switched over to the Enzotech Sapphire Rev A... wow that thing is heavy... I am very happy with the results...

dropped 5c and the AS5 has not even cured yet... lol
