update got two scythe 110 cfm fans in a push pull on the rad dropped two degree on idle, also new tubing

idles around 48-50c loads over 70 in coretemp, but TAT says otherwise...
so what are we looking at here? thats a big difference in temp, TAT is
similar to what bios says but coretemp is alittle hard to believe, 70c? thats
ridiculously high but the system functions fine..

Yeah software temp monitors are a pain to figure out which is accurate with your rig...This Brisbane I've only found one that seems even half-way accurate with...I hate that I'm a nut about temp's, I like to have 3 or 4 running at least....So just one that might not be right is really bugging me to no end........I just go by which ever seem to mirror bios temp's, but who knows how far off they are in windows...Speed-Fan and Core-Temp and MBM are my stand-by favorites, I don't know if they will function on your rig...

im just running coretemp which reads almost 20c above bios... "pulls hair"

well if it can ortho for a few hours and be stable that would be ok right?
is TAT good for stability? or just temps?

Is your gf gonna use this computer to it's full advantage, with the water-cooling and 8800 GT and all? She a gamer? If I built that system for mine it'd be complete overkill, as she could get by with cheap-ass $300 eMachines from Wal-Mart.

regardless, shes my girlfriend. even if she doesn't use it to its full potential
especially when im buying it, no crap comes from my money..

and for 300 more then a emachine, its worth it

From what I've heard TAT is a real good one for stability and temp's...Thats what I'm having to do is just guess my temp's are OK because it stable..But thats not always a good way to do it, you can be stable but pretty darn hot to...I got my new TEC module in yesterday and I hope to get it installed this week-end...Not knowing what my real load temp's are is bugging me bad, with the TEC I know I want be running to hot till I get my v-core a lot higher, then I'll have to start sweating it again..

yea it gets scary, especially with TECs your crazy for using them man lol. i might do it one day, maybe i have a handfull of 80w 40x40mm TEC that i dont use, i want to make a tiny chiller one day maybe lol.

got some more stuff for the home wrecker today so we should have large update.

as for my GFs rig, i just down clocked to 2.5 for now since it loads alot below 60 anything higher loads right above it. so ill leave it at that. so far its been smooth sailing so i hope theres no problem
