Cool Watercooling Tests ( tc120.3 + ddc3.2 +mcr320 + res tops + d5 + ek top +)

Just wanna share some of my results...

Included hardware for testing...

1. Thermochill pa120.3 x2
2. Swiftech Mcr 320
3. DDC3.2 with res top from XSPC
4. D5 vario with EK top
5. Swiftech GTZ? if the results are good..i'll definitely get this one..

Some particulars

6. Bitspower Silvershining barbs 1/2-3/4
7. Bitspower compression fittings 1/2-3/4
8. Tygon tubings 1/2-3/4 r3603
9. Enzotech snbw Rev. A
10. Koolance MVR-40
11. Scythe Kaze 3000
12. Distilled Water(steam)
13. Tuniq Tx2 current
14. Tuniq 120
15. more...

Preparations



coldwater/ho****er 30min/30min









gtz ready for testing


o-rings left from bp right from swiftech


backplates

just showing what they came with...i'm currently using the other mounting mechanism for the dtek..i prefer the other one..i'm not sure what its called though..

another addition to my testing...


Test Setup


My temperature analysis...

i'll be reading off from my digital thermometer, hd temperature, coretemp, and add in some temps on the videocard...power drawn from the wall....i'm still studying everest...

RT // HD // Core // VC // TP

My results on

1. (1)120.3 vs (2)120.3 thermochills - will it improve my temps?


Dual rad

3.33ghz idle temps 24/24 load temps 35/35 room temp 21.7

4ghz idle temps 32/32 load temps 54/54 room temp 21.9

Single rad

4.ghz idle temps32/32 load temps55/55 room temp 21.9

at 4ghz i used a vcore of 1.4v..power increase from160w(3.33ghz full load)-230w

observation/conclusion/answer...it did improve my temps

but its so negligible..i ended up using the second 120.3 for my nb&vr



i'm stil waiting for another case to put all these mess...


2. dtek fusion v2 vs swiftech gtz vs ek supreme

results..room temps were 21.5-22.5

swiftech: 52.47 51.73 52.48-------------average: 52.23C
dtek: 50.73 51.6 51.37--------------average: 51.23C
ek: 50.12 51 50.6-----------------average: 50.57C

these water blocks perform close to each other...any of the three will work really well..

---testing has ended winter oc time

heh same here. Looking forward to what the EK D5 top can do.

never thought of that way of flushing rads, looks easier than my method. i always just stuck one end of a garden hose in one side and prayed for the best.

Nice...I like #4 in your testing..

4. how far can we overclock my cpus?
I've tried well over 2.5GPM, with a reasonable heat dump, on 4 chips now, 2 of them I got a little better OC, 100-200mhz,and beter stability, on 2 of them it didn't seem to help the OC or make it any more stable, I'm looking forward to your results with it...

Good stuff...
