List WC temps for x1900

[silverphoenix]

I'm thinking of watercooling my x1900xt 256 to get more out of it but before I make the jump what temps are you guys with wc already getting? x1900xt, xtx. Just tell me ur clocks vcore mem and wc setup and temps.

my temps are:

idle: 40c
load: 46-47c
ambient: 21-22c
core volts: 1.425

my opty 165 is at stock volts so it doesn't give off that much heat to add to my gpu temps.

Those are some low ambient temps. My motherboard reads 28-32 in case and the GPU reads 36-40C... my actual room temp is around 20C. I'm off to the oc forums to debate on what hardware to get.

It really depends but most recent numbers...

Ummm.. stock Vcore and Vmem.
Core: 750MHz
Mem: 850MHz
Idle: ~32C
Load: ~40C

Using an Alphacool NexXxos NV3XP ATi combo (X-Fire).

Worth noting that my watercooling kit is nothing normal per-say. So not sure you can take my numbers into account. I have two Black Ice Xtreme 2 Rads and a single Xtreme Rev2 rad, dual pumps as well in a custom made case.

I've been using Driverheaven's utility to overclock. Works better then any other utility I've found for a Crossfire setup.

well I'm hitting 66C with the zalman on stock clocks for load but vcore at 1.27 from the stock 1.4. Now with a slight bump in V to 1.45 and oc to 685/796 I get load temps of 80ish C. Which waterblock would you guys reccomend? I'm trying not to spend too much and I don't know what is better a block that covers the mem as well or just the core and use ramsinks for ram?
