32c good temp for Water?

[dave343]

Got an Opteron 165 clocked to 2.63gig on Water, idle temps are 32-34c. Is this to be expected? I was hoping for lower.

Overclocked, I'd say thats decent, but I can only compare that to my old Aquagate W/C kit, which sat at 29-31c idle for my OC'ed 4200+ in sig in a 23-26c ambient.

I'd ask next, what is your w/c setup and what are your ambient temps?

Ambients are about the same, maybe a little lower 22-24c. As for the W/C setup, I'm not 100% sure. I bought the entire W/C setup off someone which included the Opteron. Used my own Chenbro case. Voltage is set to 1.375 in bios, think default for Op 165 is 1.35, but my board Asus A8N-Sli is overvolting to 3.9... something. I could probably take the V down slightly as the previous owner mentuioned at 2.6 it only needs 1.36-7 and that's with the V-Drop on his board.
This is actually my first go with water so I was expecting slighly lower temps around the low to mid 20's, but I might add a peltier.
