well this sucks, Im moving from a zalman 9700 and my temps are just slightly worse by a 1-3 degrees, my setup is as listed:
d-tek fuzion cpu block - 1/2" EK hi flow barbs
ddc2 + petra top - 1/2" danger den hi flow barbs
5.25 clear acrylic reservior
black ice gt stealth 120.1 radiator
cooler master uv silent fan
thermal paste was applied with zalman paste, a thin layer covering the entire core
I also tried a small dot of AS5 with same or worse results
I remounted about 4-5 times with the same results and even tried different fans with same or only a 1 degree in difference
im running vcore at a bios value of 1.4v, my asus p5b dlx vdroops to about 1.33-1.36
temps are idle 43-53, load is 60-65
what is going on?
here are some pics for reference
