this is my first post so hello everyone. i just found a good deal on an apogee and i was wondering what temps should i expect using it on a quad core. im running with stock cooling now so im sure temps would be better with the block. if anyone has a similar setup what temps are you getting? i also have the swiftech mcr320. thanks
 
Need more info. Stock or overclocked? Q6600 G0 stepping, or B3? What kind of case, and how would you mount the radiator? What fans on the radiator? Either way if you are running the Apogee with an MCR320 you should end up with Apogee GT + MCP350 pump performance which is not bad at all.

Plus the apogee drive is easily moddable to a mcp355.

Yes, you can mod the pump as long as the impeller is blue. It can go from 10watt (mcp350) to 18watt (mcp355) by simply connecting the left solder point to the next solder point in the series on the bottom of the pump.
 
stock for now until winter gets here, G0 stepping, case is lian li PC-A71B and i have mounted the rad in the top of the case ..pics in lian li gallery near bottom of page, using cheap cooler master fans for now. oh and thanks for the quick responses
edit::i am looking at the apogee gt and a swiftech mcp655::
 
If you buy the apogee drive and an xspc top,you get an mcp355/xspc top cheaper than the mcp655 :D
 
... basicly i just want to know will this block be able to handle the heat from a quad core, if not i may just got with the apogee gtx
 
G0 stepping of a Q6600 at stock clocks will be fine with the Apogee GT. With the MCR-320, you'll probably hit low 40's with stock voltage. I take it you will run distilled for the fluid, and 1/2" for the hose?
 
you ar correct mrE, im thinking about pcice or something with a realllllly low freezing point for the winter, i plan to mount the rad outside to hold me over till my funds can handle a tec setup :). i cant think of anything else a Minnesota winter would be good for lol
 
The apogee is just fine. At 3.6ghz and 1.4v i load at around 50C with the GT and Swiftech 320 rad.
 
awesome, thats better than i expected, thanks for the help and suggestions, i will post temps as soon as i get my loop running
