my watercooled temp

[ebdoradz]

i have watercooled my rig 3-4 months ago and since i've been working in the new house i didn't had time for some gaming benchmarking result on the watercooled rig

after 1 hrs of TF2 and 1 hour of BF2 my temp were :

CPU : 35°C (compare to 40°C on air)
north bridge = same since its not watercooled
GPU : 36°C (compare to 90°C on air)
Motherboard VRM temps increase by a good 10°C and peak @ 48°C ... since i dont have the arctic cooling freezer fan anymore near the cpu socket this area it a bit more hot then i was on air ....


im a bit consern about algae in my loop. my computer have been sitting onthe desk and haven't been use for a good month and a half if not even more

and its looking like i have a little brownish film on some part of my tubing ... near the T-Line.

i have used distilated water + pt nuke + Feser UV dye...

do i already have algea .... so far for what i remember the idle temps are the same has they were right after i build my loop ....

my watercooling spec are the following :

Thermochill PA120.3
Swifteck MP655 pump
Fuzion V2 on CPU
Fuzion V2 on the Gpu
T-Line with DD fill port

I would say more than likely you got something in there and your probably going to have to pull it apart and clean it out.

Temps are great. I can't imagine you having any algae in the system given what you used. Run it for six months and then flush it and change the fluid.

It hasn't been used for a month.

Okay, but did it have the petra nuke in it while it was idle?

My swiftech tubing has discolored over time but the cheapo stuff I got at Home Depot is still crystal clear.

Yes it has PT Nuke but he also has a dye so what he maybe seeing is the dye breaking down which is common.

yah. My uv dye has stained everything.

PT_Nuke doesn't play well with a lot of dyes. The newer version is supposed to be more dye-friendly, I believe. And of course, make sure you don't OD on the stuff. One drop per litre is all you need.
