hey guys quick question if you please,

how do i know when i've hit the cap of what my radiator can cool off?

i'm not happy with my temps and don't know if i should get another radiator or if i just dont have enough flow (fan or pump) to my current loop.

What rad do you have and what fans? Also tell us what all you have being cooled on your loop.

If you end tank feels much warmer then room ambient you know your getting overloaded for your rad fan combo.

For a old 2-pass style one side will feel hotter then the other, feel the cooler side on those to compare to ambient.

If you have a tape probe and a read-out just tape it on the end tank and see what you get.

it's in my sig thingy. the fans are kaze slipstream 1600. i'm umm cooling everything with oil immersion.

i have the rad sitting vertically and the top part is hot while the botom part is cool.

still i just cant shake these temps. guess i should look around to see if these are normal temps people see in their systems.

oh i guess it's not in my sig for some reason. it's a black ice gtx xtreme 360
