Combatcow - what water cooling setup do you have + what temps do you get?

this is why Mr. Vbulletin invented PM's mate...

aha someone else purchased this...

your looking for some tubing...hmm lemme find what ive got left, i got a 10ft roll of 1/2" DD clearflex..

ere we are, ive got about...4 or 5ft of it left, i would probably have more but i cut my tubing a little too long as i wanted to be better safe than sorry

however , you prob live in ireland...so im not so "local" as im in england :rolleyes:

..ive got my own problems now, the waterblock isnt warm to touch.....the tubing isnt warm to touch..yet my wonderful bios claims its 44 @ idle, god dammit i hate this bios, im about to flash to the offical 1.4 but i just know something will go wrong :rolleyes:

i seriously think its wrong, it says my system temp is 41 ive just stuck my hand inside my case and it is no warmer than outside at all!..infact wheres that thermometer im gonna put it in for a while, id say its more like 20, which would make me think its doing the 20+ error, ...which would then make my cpu 24, which i hardly doubt :eek: ..well i dunno this is my first watercooling kit so god knows what temps i should get, i wouldnt have thought im getting better temps than CombatCow though, his is just soooo tidy inside compared to mine :rolleyes:

if anyone could tell me what temps you think i should be getting id be grateful, but prosta lemme know where you are, this tubing may be tooo far away, i mean i dont need it, mines done now i wont be upgrading it at all, i doubt ill even watercool future vid cards for the next year or so so i defo wont be needing it

thx

and sorry i cant be any help with the tubing :rolleyes:

i thought MBM just read from the bios anyway?

well i was told to get it some time back, it seems the bios and MBM agree on 1 temp, add about 5 degrees and thats what MSI's stupid corecentre reads, here i am typing away with winamp playing and MBM claims my cpu is 43 and my system temp is 41..core centre is saying 49 and 48..i give in :rolleyes:

the waterblock/tubing aint even warm! damn you MSI!!!!

as for the pump giving off heat, i didnt know this, i touched the pump and its not warm at all so i dont know about that :rolleyes: , ill be curious to hear what temps your getting though, because i dont know whether to take 5, 10, 15 or 20 off mine, i really dont

i dont know how to judge it, i know with the heatsink u can touch the base of it and get an idea of the actual cpu temp

with watercooling, i dont know, you guys with w/c, are your blocks or tubing warm?

mines are both..well they aint warm or cool, just...normal :rolleyes:

yet it currently says 52 degrees, ...im having difficulty overclocking at the mo anyway so i guess the temps aint an issue, i just read an in depth guide to OC'ing an A64 and got rather confused :eek:

just played some UT2004...to find it go DOWN 3 degrees, heh i dont know whether to laugh at the comedy or cry coz of the crappy bios
