I've got a question about temps. Right now my E6400 is at 3.44GHz at 1.425v. I have a water cooling setup with a DD TDX waterblock, a 120 BIX rad, a Maze5 GPU cooler on my 7900GS (which is rediculously awesome, 33c at 600MHz and 1600mem).

It idles at 40c and load for 7 hours is 55-57c. It's higher than I'd like but I really need to pump the voltage to make this chip happy. Would a 240 rad help a lot? The main thing I love about WC is how quiet it is, I have 3 120mm fans in my system and they are all turned down pretty low...in fact the HD's are a lot louder than any of the fans. So I dont want to crank the fans or add too many more.

Just wondering if this is around par for that voltage and having an OC'd vid card in the loop.
 
My advice to you is to just let it go. A 240 rad will help temps, but not by much. And in the end you will have dumped a lot of time, money and energy into fixing a situation that doesn't really need fixing. 57C is just fine, and normal for a processor at that speed and voltage.
 
Good stuff, I just lowered it to 3.2GHz, tightened up my ram real nice and Im running 45c under load now. Super stable and lightning fast, perfect. Thanks for the input.
