idle at 36' to 38' load at 55' to 58' in normal room temp... (no fan or air cond is on)... yah my e6600 need quite a high vcore... i can run it at 1.500v n run orthos for days... but 1.525 to 1.550 give me the totally non problem setting... it's very stable at that vcore... n idle n load temp is only 2' different...

My ifx-14 idle @ 39 load @ 49... 3.6GHz e6600 b2 @ 1.45v.... y urs WC so high?...

His vcore is higher than you and sometime ambient temp do make alot of difference. Besides that, some proc batch is hotter than normal.

my new hoot again lah...

hahahah... Swiftech mcp655 and Swiftech micro res...

hi guys,i'm first time water cooling user,and i facing some problem with my setup,

Swiftech Apogee GT Bowed (O-Ring replaced)
Swiftech MCP655-B
Swiftech micro resevoir
CoolTrek DP1202 (consider passive,no fan attached)

i having problem,the temperature is exactly the same as my Xigmatek S1283,happily got the setup and end up with full of disappoinment,can sifu pls guide me?

this is my setup pic,hope to get some hint and tips from u all.



oh ya,edited:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz 1.18vcore OCCT stable

Xigmatek:
Idle 42c,40c,36c35c
load 60c,58c,54c,52c

Swiftech:
Idle 40c,39c,36c35c
Load 55c,55c,52c51c

bro ace ah, mount some fans on it and you WIL definately see the difference haha.. even 2x 120mm low air flow (40+cfm) can make a difference already.

but the problem is,when i switch on pc the first time,the temp is already almost same,that time the RAD is not hot at all mah,right?

air bubbles maybe?...

might be air bubble in ur loop, btw ur temp so high 1 even on xigmatek running 3.0ghz...... it like mine running at 3.4ghz time......

u using core temp to measure temperature ??

@acecombat
i think ur loop should be bleed nicely since ur radiator already placed at the most bottom part of ur setup, placing fans on radiator might help, as the radiator aint passive radiator... mayb try remount the block? placing a fan there might getting improvements, even low cfm fans... ur setup should be ok...
my setup with e2140 also getting load temps about 55c-57c, depends on ambient after OC to 3.0ghz with 1.50vcore...
go gooling around, or xtremeforums, the apogee gt test also getting temps around that... and also go swiftech web and try out the temp calc...

but i see my coolant and water no bubble at all wor....

well,yup,cause my area ambient got around 30c to 32c,very hot,i always like to read the temp without any cool air beside me,i'll shut all the fan in my house and left alone my pc only,even myself also sweating beside the pc one,then i take the temp.
anyway,i use core temp to read.

so my placement is ok right?
i now put radiator on it already,later tonight or tomolo i will have reading on each core while OCCT,btw,the Apogee GT,should i install horinzontal or vertical?
is it any different if mount not same direction?

Sometimes the bubble can hide inside ur waterblock... that will cause the flow of water not smooth..

from acecombat pic, cpu block inlet and outlet, ideal location should be inlet at the bottom and top outlet so that any Trapped air is flushed out easily, just my idea as i always setup like tht on my wc, and yet also getting high temps, but 10c cooler than geminS after tried my previous x2 3800+ on these air cooled hestsink, used to oc to 2.8ghz using 1.48vcore load@ 55-56c watercooled but after using geminS, i cant oc to that speed due to temp, stock vcore already near 50c+, if oc to 2.6ghz using stock vcore reaching 57c ady...so, back to topic, i think adding fan would help as the radiator are not meant for cooling passively and also try squeeze the tubing near the block a bit to help bleeding and also open ur reservoir cap a while for bleeding the loop to let the bubble up, run the pump with reservoir cap open for a while...

i think air bubbles should not trap inside waterblock since u are using mcp-655 which is a powerful pump, should flush out the air bubbles quite well...
what coolant u are using ?

*something to mention, actually the inlet outlet part are just my crap idea, actually it has almost no effect after thinking again, u can simply choose the most convinient way for ur tubing setup, oh ya, try shorten ur loop might help, since less retriction with shorter tubings...

hi guys,need some help for urs....
now i need a CPU Block of my incoming E8400 proc.....
got any goodies intro?

and does HW lab Black Ice GT Stealth 360 good?enough for future upgrade to 3 water block?

now i got a Laing D5 pump,a Black Ice GT Stealth 360 and a resevior ......

should be sufficient, an apogee gt or d-tek fuzion will do...

o! ok thx dude!
actually i tempting by Enzotech SW-1 CPU Block.....
damn nice,and performance oso less 1-3 degree form D-tek fuzion.....

how to make sure the block is bubble free if like that?cause we cant see whether it has bubble or not inside there.

well,u mean no matter hwo i mount the cpu block also same?
if open the reservoir cap will decrease whole setup's pressure is it?
btw,i'm using HKS Motorsport coolant,for turbo car,(stolen it from my bro ) 10% of HKS coolant and 90% of Diamond water (to filter as much as mineral as possible)
any idea?

ive asked whether car coolants can be used but apparently if you dont use an appropriate one, you might damage you rad and pump

Cannot make up my mind... Danger Den Stealth 360 or Swiftech triple rad?...

i read from xtremesystem before, vertical mount or horizontal mount juz 1c or not even 1c different, so best is mount the way where u could route ur tubings well... try use distilled water and dun use the car coolant, the more mixture u run the worst the cooling are, but myself are using hydryx coolant mixing with distilled water... best is using distilled water... for opening the reservoir cap, its just let the trapped air escape the loop, after bleeding process, u should close it so u got a sealed loop.

agree with u, some car coolant might damage part of ur loop...

i think both almost same since stealth and swiftech mcr almost have the same thickness and area, so cooling capability might be the same, but i think stealth is smaller in size if not wrong,,,
