I have one laying here. Thinking of using it to cool my GX2 :D just need to get out of a situation I'm in so I can buy the rest of the water cooling gear. That Rad cooled my Phenom 9950 with Push/Pull fans very good actually. Not bad for a pretty thin radiator.

Well got the loop cleaned up today. The block was gunky EWWW

Also the insert in the block might have been in upside down. So hoping that fixes the core temp discrepancy a bit (like 8C difference between core 0/1 and 2/3 (not sure hte exact numbers,, two of them report 8C differnet than the other two. Looking at hte block design if the "channel insert" was in backwards that would explain it.

HDD should be here tomorrow so going to try getting this all installed in the case today and starting leak testing tonight :)

You know that I tried the right way and the other way to have the water flowing through the block and to me I didn't do a difference.

Glad you cleaned up the loop bro, that gunk is caused by the high temps and feser one fluid.

Yah it was not REALLY bad but was gunky. Gotta check and make sure I mount the block the right way too before I put it in the case. Was supposed to be done today, but just got back from Christmas shopping and now my Eagles are playing, maybe later tonight I will get a chance to work on it :) Although I got up at 4:30 this morning so coffee or not that probably will not happen lol

pansy! listen to the game on the radio or something while you install the block :laugh:

Not TOO bad :)

Hopefully it helps. Popped some ketchup on it after gently rubbing it with a soft toothbrush. Only left it on for 15 minutes or so though so not much of an effect probably. Next time will clean it better :)

That's actually not bad at all, I've seen wayyyyy worse. That is my block, right?

Yah, not bad at all, only filled up maybe a half a cracker, tasted TERRIBLE though.

Chicken Patty 12-14-2009 05:35 PM

I was about to say. Man, you know what I just noticed. My Mega Shadow is giving me better temps at higher clocks than the water setup. How the f**k???

Neuromancer 12-14-2009 06:56 PM

Really, Im getting at least 20C better load temps, idle no change really.

20C better load temps and MUCH quieter :)

I came across a screenshot where my max on real temp during wprime at 4620 Mhz 1.494v was 98șc! My Mega the most I See is 88-89șc.
