Watercooling Results (Opinions and Comparisons please!)

Who wouldn't share load temps , and who created a problem ?

Who wouldn't share load temps , and who created a problem ?

Stan, Realneil asked him what his load temps were in post 4, and Kung Pow is convinced his block is bad even though everything seems ok. ????

As with other posts from Kung Pow, he asks for opinions but then rejects everything said.

I tried to tell him that the Sandy parts run cooler but he didn't want to hear it.
It's not the Volts, it's all of those pesky little Watts being used.
And then he wouldn't run it under a load, or he wouldn't share his load temps with us.
I think he's just trying to take us all to school for his lessons.

He didn't have a problem, he created one.

I stated my load temps in another thread you two just donīt know about.

Donīt be too quick to badmouth people without even being aware of the situation.

For this particular thread they did not have any relevance, since I was putting the focus on the Idle temps.
I only reject opinions and responses that have the intention of making somebody look bad even though the accusers donīt even know what is really going on.

The watertemp is equal to the ambient and the CPU is too hot.
There is no other explanation but for the block to be not correctly transferring heat.
I bought this block from Aquatuning, and it was the last one, the employee warned me not to take it but I had to get a 370.

Please for the future donīt judge or badmouth somebody if you are not fully aware of the situation.

I donīt wanna take anybody to school I am just stating my opinion, if you two have a problem with that I canīt help it.

Of course Vcore matters?

What do you think is the factor about a CPU that causes heat and therefor creates a requirement of the CPU for cooling?
The inducted power

And of course the more power that is inducted the more cooling effort is necessary:P

So what do you think about my temps anyway?

Your CPU uses more watts, producing more heat. That's what I was referring to, not VCore. Yet you felt the need to post and try to make me out to be stupid. And you keep asking questions without giving any weight to the answers people give you.
When I asked you about your load temps, it was for a reason, yet you ignored my question, and now you point to another thread where you posted them as your answer. Are we all required to read every line of your other threads to have any standing with you here?

One thing that I did notice about you is that you argue with everything that someone posts, no matter what they say. This is true on all of the threads you've started so far.

You ignored good advice about the way the water block was mounted on your mainboard. It was probably too tight and skewed (not making full contact with your CPU) because of that.

A lot of these guys are using water to cool with and have been for a long time. They know what they're doing due to lots of experiance, yet you ignored most of what they tried to tell you. Then you say that I'm picking on you. Boo-Hoo!

all I ever wanted to do was help.

[Kung Pow]

All I see you wanting to do considering that post is further disturbance and disregard.

Please just do not post if you donīt have anything contributive to say.

For personal issues please just PM me, but leave the thread alone with such nonsense.

DrDeath and Deton have already cleared up anything there is, in a both efficient and very pleasant manner, most unlike you and your companion to be honest.

There is a reason why they are some of the most popular and respected members on this board, and your further display of this behavior just makes it that much clearer.

I had my first i7 OC thread with Deton when you didnīt even know PureOC existed
Same thing with my first case thread and DrDeath^^

I love those guys, because no matter how trivial the topic or question, they are always there to help not to judge.

Hey Mr. Pow, that is a completely low handed post!

Neil does not deserve that nor do the other regular members here @ PureOC.

Neil offered help to another one of your questions because he thought he may be able to help. Weather he has been a member for 40 years or a few weeks has no relevance to how he should be treated.

You have a tendency it appears to ask questions and then completely ignore or disregard the good advice you are given by the many members who have offered advice in your threads. That makes you a prick!

If this offends you take it up with the mods and admins here @ PureOC. If they want to ban me for being honest in my post I am OK with that also.

[Deliverance]

Water Cooling is a passionate issue. Opinions are heavy.

This thread has not become uncivilized yet. There is no reason for alarm.

If Kung Pow wants to try another block, let him! It's not going to hurt anything.

I will say, it's going to be HARD to RMA that thing though. AquaTuning don't like returns.

Kung Pow, please let us know how your experience goes after they receive the block.

lol!

Yes at first he was trying to help, but as soon as his opinion was not received in a manner he had imagined it to be (probably with a parade), he started resorting to what we see now in his posts, actually quite the same that is reflecting from your post as well.

Judgement and unpleasantness.


It is not your posts that offend me, but your irrefutable will to continue considering a subject that is both irrelevant to this thread and to me the OP.
If you have problems, just PM me it is OK but letīs please just leave the thread alone with this, shall we?
I will ignore further responses regarding this matter in the thread, PM if you really have something to say.

@Deliverance: You are absolutely right
The block is in RMA and will hopefully be interchanged
I will then post my results when the block arrives.

[Doctor_Death]

I have two of the CPU-370 blocks, and have no problems with them, Earth, as far as your comment on Koolance, look at Deton and how many blocks he reviews, if Koolance is so bad, why is Deton using their 370 in his main rig ?
You really have to stop knocking our sponsors, they know more about water cooling than you do lol

Build quality and craftsmanship is excellent
I personally think the mounting system could be a little more sophisticated, as in regards to Swiftechīs current flagship but other than that it is a very nice block.
I only had the Kryos XT before and have to say there is no comparison, 370 is in my opinion top of the line.

My issue with the block is unique I think, since there were multiple indicators that could have suggested damage and which are obviously not too common.

I also think that Americans and Canadians in most cases considering Hardware and Cooling supplies in general, just have the advantage of receiving better quality parts.

I know this issue is very controversial, but in my experience over the years I have come to the conclusion that you guys mostly just are provided with both better quality and higher ranged stuff than we are in Europe.

I donīt know why exactly that is the case, but it strongly seems that way.

[Drdeath]

Guys, Sry I could not keep up with this thread..... I am on vacation.1st paid vacation in over 10 years!


Ok POW..... most everyone is on Sandybridge but I will give you my temps from I7 930....



With turbo, C1E and C6 disabled and at 1.375v with no throttling, I idle at 38 and load at low 70's. I think to get a total overview of your cooling, you need to disable your powering features and load it up with about 1.35v at perhaps 4.2 or 4.3 GHz and record the idle and the load temps prime 95 about 15 min.

You RMA was pointless until we see your temps under similar voltages as someone else imo.

[Doctor_Death]

Did you flush your 480Rad before the install ?

[Kung Pow]

Not sure if you mean me, but yes like a mad man.

I will again state my conclusion of this.

Were could the problem be?

The only factors in my loop relevant considering too high temperatures of my CPU are the radiator, pump and block.

The waterīs temperature is equal to the ambient temperature.

That basically means that the radiator is working properly, since it is able to dissipate the supposed heat being transferred from the block to the water.

That fact also negates the pump to be the problem.

Now if the watertemp is as cool as physically possible but the CPU is still too hot, where could the problem be?

The block of course, because it obviously has problems to transfer the heat from the CPU to the water, wich is why the watertemp is so cool and the CPU is hotter than it should be considering the dissipating power and water temp.

Still, the possibility of a bad mount, uneven or according to Deton too even pressuring of the block, faulty thermal paste application are present.

Since I have tested the temps with all possible mounts, pressure and thermal paste applications and various other means, without any positive result only the block itself can now be the problem.

In addition to that, I remember when I bought the block the employee warned me not to take it because it was the last one and might be an already used product having been returned.

Now the last relevant factor could be human error, basically meaning I am paranoid and just expecting too much of this whole thing:P
But after having shared my results with multiple forums I have come to the conclusion that my Idle/Load temps are just too high.

I have looked up some old benchmark screenshots from a couple of years ago when I was still using a Noctua UP12 with this same CPU and my temps then, where almost equal to my current ones.

I personally think that particular block is faulty, I might be wrong or not, so we will see after I get my new one back^^

Doc, I care enough about PureOC's sponsors that I won't bother posting in any more review threads. As for the rest of the forum, my opinions have free range.
