My Watercooling future is in your hands!

ColdFlare · 07-03-2002, 10:31 PM

Hello, I am looking for some comparisions of watercooling temperatures. I'm Running a KX7333-Raid motherboard and using the probe underneath the socket to record temperatures. I'll appreciate it if you KX7333 or older ABIT boards can post your temperatures with your water cooling.

I'm Currently running at default speed 1800+ @ 1.53ghz. Prime95 full load at 43c and system temp at 34c. My chip idles at 39c. Swiftech MC462 with Delta EHE at 7v.

I want to know if water cooling will lower my temps dramatically. I dont want to spend 100 dollars to setup a watercooler and get 1-5c drop in temps only.

Here are my complete specs:

AMD @ 1.53ghz : Idle 39c Full: 43C
System Temp: 34c
Voltage : 1.75v
Ambient Temp: 26c
Temp outdoor: 37c
Using AS3 been setteled for a while.

Could you guys post your watercooling parts, speed, voltage along with your ABIT model and temperatures?

My watercooling adventures are in your hands. I really want to set it up, but I dont want to get bad results. Thanks.

I answered at amdmb for you two

Im not on abit but my 1800+ is running at 1800mhz antd the temps are

34-35 idol 39 max

befre water cooling

41 idol 50 max

Im not running any high tech gear , via aqua pump , a heater core and a jagged edge wb.

there is better stuff all the way around out and available.

Ok I have a ax-7 and a swifty also and the ax-7 cools better. But even so a good water cooling setup will cool about the same or a little better than these. Not to discurage you but what you will find is that water cooling will handle overclocking a little better and my water cooling rig is way quiter than the big deltas. So what you will get is less noise. and maybe a lower temp to boot. Water cooling also shows it's usefullnes if you start to use pelts and whatnot to get below room temps.

I don't think you're likely to get a huge overclock out of watercooling if you are already using the big swifty. Try running the fan on 12v and see if you can get much higher, if you do then it might be worth going to water.

I'm loyal to Asus myself but... of the top of my head, your temps look low.

I agree with everyone here: watercooling might give you a few degrees more, but more importantly, it'll make your rig quieter.

If noise isn't an issue for you, then forget about it.

On the other hand, many people have explored the use of Pelts, bongs, vortex, and phase change coolers, and that would definitely give you a dramatic drop in temps, along with a serious overclock, but maybe not quite so quiet...
