rbx issues

p0b0y · 12-07-2003, 02:18 PM

What kind of super pump do you need for this block? Im running it on a hydor i30 pump and my temps are in the 36c range. This is unacceptable because my maze4 had temps in the 27c range. I have an rbx/bix/hydor 30i/5.35 res./1.5" setup. What gives?

Have you checked that the nozzle of the RBX is in the right orientation?

ya the orientation may be wrong.. they reviewed that block over at overclockers.com and it had a really high pressure drop.. when then opened it up the plate was installed wrong.

Kinda off topic but 27C! on a 3.8 P4 and the rad is a BIX!

hope that is with a very low ambient and outside inn the snow

i read about the nozzle and made sure it was in the vertical position

my comp is next to my window which is open, its around 38F outside, got dual delta 120mm on it

oh yeah, its down to 3.5 hehehe

Okay, so basically you're wildly varying the ambient temperature that is possibly entering the radiator.

Any way that you could control the ambient to a fixed reference point before trying to figure out what's going on. Remember, any change in ambient means a change in CPU temperature too.
