KraZy Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I have put alot of effort into getting my pelt setup working correctly, but have not quite ironed out the kinks yet... Currently I am running a 226W pelt with Mean Well psu, so I know I have enough cooling power. The pelt is cooled with a Maze 4 3/8 ID, and dissipated with 2 Swiftech rads. I have a Extreme II Rad on order along with a dual 5 1/4 res to dissipate even more heat... (That pelt gets HOT!) Idle, I run great, but my temps go sky high under load. We are talking from a low of 10c to somewhere in the 50's. under load!!! This, in turn will crap-out any benchmarks that I try to run.. (as soon as the temp hits 45C (under heavy OC) is where benchmarks usually self-desrtuct for me...) BTW, I can run fine under a mild OC, but I still have those same problems, only they do not cause instability. Edit: I also would like to add that I had to use <gasp!> white goop on the pelt due to the cold. After taking my block apart, I found that AS5 don't like the cold too much. AS5 is on the CPU, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSticky Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 No idea, but this is why I insist on having a nice long conversation with someone at Danger Den before I blow 500 bucks on water/pelt just to find my load temps are teh suxx0r. Good luck with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 i heard that pelts get so hot to begin with.. air is better just because it can displace the heat from the cpu and pelt a bit faster.. but THATS WHAT I HEARD .. EDIT: o ya.. this i like with a 110 cfm fan though at max rpm's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
