Temperature REadings

tofu2go · 07-04-2002, 09:18 PM

Here are my readings w/ and without water cooling:

Heatsink: 54ºC +

Water: 45-47ºC

is a 7ºC drop normal...? because I was expecting lower temperatures. What more can I do to drop the temp to lets say 40-42ºC?

btw, I have an AMD XP 1600+ (1.45ghz) overclocked to 1800+ (1.53Ghz). I'm using Windows XP w/ 512DRAM. Geforce 3 Ti200 and a 40GB HD 7200RPM.

What are you using?

toddalaska · 07-05-2002, 12:53 AM

yeah you should be doing bettert than that id think

my1800+ (1.53) is clocked to 1800mhz and my idol is 34-35 and prime95 max is 40.

thats just with a ghetto setup wiht room tempp about 31-32

I have a danger den maze 3, Black Ice Pro, Eheim 1048, and silicon tubings. I live in Southern California

if the fan mounted on the rad isn't completely touching the rad and air is escaping the four sides... can that be part of the prob?

Your numbers look good. You might be able to tweak out a few more degrees.

Yes, seal the fan on the rad, with silicone or something. Try to mount that fan 1 in. from the rad (i.e. shroud).

If you haven't already, consider 1/2 in tubing, instead of 3/8.

The next item would be the pump. You might get an extra few degs with an Eheim 1250, or 1060.

What MB are you using?

If it reads the XP's internal diode, then you are doing OK.

Don't try to compare internal diode readings with incorrect in-socket temp readings - it'll drive you nuts.

What is the temperature of the room? Your water temps seem *really* high! The CPU temp seems good, considering the water temp.
