wht about ur gpu temp?
imo(im still a big noob)...it can make a difference coz d hot water will go thru more area which d water can be cooled...push pull config can help a lot i think
i hope lyn wc guru can correct me if im wrong...budak br blajo

all in 1 loop, so cpu n gpu at the same temp.. ok, we'll wait for better opinions

Ok, I'll do that. Thank you so much


*EDIT*


Laying my casing horizontally helped clear ALL the bubbles. Now temps are good again. Thank you so much

bro, yours is a FAQ…here my take on it…principally/theoritically, bigger dissipation area is always good in term of dissipating the heat (w), so the more rad surface is always good.
but practically, what u should pay attention is your water/fluid temp since that ur water/fluid temp's limitation is the ambiance. Water temp would not go lower than ambiance.
so ur system is good if ur current setup is less than 10c delta (between water temp and ambience), adding more rad surface would yield little significant vs money burned, but if delta is more, than u have more room for improvement, in term of increasing rad surface/better rad + postitioning / fans selection and the likes..
this way u'll see the money burned produce better results due to the decreasing bigger deltas.
so in wc don’t pay much attention on components temp comparison in term of evaluating wc sys effectiveness, try to gain better air water delta, than u'll see better component temp before and after.
so its water air delta 1st, component temp second.
this is also a good read..

thx to clear things up theoritically, my room is hot, me myself need to blow the fan on my face or i'll feel so hot. i bet the difference between the ambient and water temp is 10c. also difference between load and idle is around 10c. guess going for bigger rad wont decrease the temp much~

Air bubble in water cooling not good ? I saw some post before that , it say bubble can make the performance more better . Bro vladtheimpaler , ur pm inbox full ?

it cant and wont...bubbles on the block restrict the cooling properties of the fluid/water to the affected block surfacce..(water is not in contact due to the bubble) = no cooling..same goes those in tubes..it'll move along the system and get stuck in rads / block...so a HUGE no no there bro..

inbox = i'm clearing it up now, bro...thanks for the heads up.

Huhu! Thanks!

Tu laa...dah 3 hari aku dok tunggu bile nak klua, x klua2 gak. Thanks to owikh for suggesting to lay the case horizontally. that did the trick (3 attempts )

And bro, we have unfinished business. Mid or end of this week aku bank in kat ezzy! got some issues with the bank. Very sorry for the delay
