Water_Hazard Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Honestly though, I wouldn't water cool the north/south bridge if I had it to do over again. Maybe the mosfets but the north/south block doesnt really do anything but look good and bring temps down a little. They weren't hot enough to need water cooling in the first place.

Moset cooling is not needed for regular overclocking. When using Dice or LN2 and using extreme voltages this would help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mosfets would get over 90c when overclocking past 4.2 so I thought that was worth water cooling. Now they top out at 65c. An investment well worth it imo.

An investment well worth it imo. On my current board (P6T Deluxe V2) my north bridge gets quite toasty, but seeing as I'm switching to Rampage III extreme, I may leave out my board cooling for time being and see how hot it all gets then watercool it if necessary.

ccokeman Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Cooling the motherboard is a waste of money and offers no performance gain. It looks cool though. You will not overclock andy higher with it cooled. Depends on the board really and airflow through the chassis Best is Pump/Rad/CPU/Res. The pump dumps a little heat back in the loop and pump to rad may cool a degree or 2 better. I always go RES>PUMP>CPU>RAD>RES for a simple CPU only loop The heat sump from the pump is not enough to influence the CPU temp plus you get the highest pressure going through the CPU block right out of the pump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
