Here is an interesting situation that I "stumbled" upon....
My system runs 24/7 and my pump is pluged directly into the wall so it always runs. However eariler this afternoon, I was messing around with the rats nest of wires behind my desk trying to get a cord out. After getting frustrated for a few seconds and a bit of yanking ![]() Noticed that some nice little bubbles were starting to form in my res., not a good sign ![]() Here is what is really intresting. Since the pump got unplugged my res has a nice mixture of air and water (nice tiny white bubbles ) and yet my temps have not risen one bit! Heh... It actally has stabilized at my best overal heat disappation level of 6C over ambient! Current temps: Ambient Case temp: 35C (closed case, all components inside) Core Temp: 41C My usual delta between my case temps and my core temps is 6-7C but usually staying around the 7C delta mark. Interesting...............
