good temps for wcing

[idunno1987]

hey there my comp oced to 2674 mhz....idles at 30 celsius (which is fine i guess as thats what it used to idle at stock)..but at load (prime 95) it goes up to 40-44 ...is that a decent temp?..i was expecting around 38....does that seem right

 

i have for my wcing: swiftech storm cpu block

maze 4 acetal gpu block

black ice extreme 2 radiator

swiftech mcp655 pump

delta afb1212vhe and she fans on the rad (rad has shroud)

...lemme know if this seems right ...thanks

There a little high. 36 - 38 is the most I've seen on any of my W/C setups... How much tension do you have on the springs. Try adding a 1/2 turn to each thumbscrew and see if the temps come down at all.

there not thumbscrews..but i screwed em in as far as i could with the tension limiter bars......still the same temps...lets hope good old as 5 will cure soon and temps get a bit lower

That does seem like a big jump often indicating poor contact if curing does not help you could always take it off and try again. The max temp really depends on the air temp though.

 

 

You also have to rember that some chips just have better contact with the IHS so the temps are not going to be as good. I dropped quite a bit from having the thing off I had bad contact.
