I have 2x Q6600 quad G0's running stock at 2.4 Ghz ATM . I have 2x lower performance GPU cards, a eVGA 9600GSO and a eVGA 8800GS. I have the shaders on both cards OC'ed to 1620 by the graph chart in the Precision program.
I've had this MCW60-R WB in my closet hoping to get some kind of windfall so I could get a GTX260, a bigger PSU, whatever else and put the GPU under water. Welp, my curiosity got the best of me today. Using some of the several HS's I had, I put the WB on the eVGA 8800GS and took the AccelS1 R2 off the 8800 and put it on the "dual slot" eVGA 9600GSO (musical VGA cards ).
I have my rads (two MCR220's with shrouded HS Yate Loons pulling) and pumps (two MCP350's, stock tops) in separate containers (empty cat litter buckets) sitting on the window sill. (I have bowed Apogee GT WB's on each CPU) According to an indoor/outdoor thermometer the air reaching my rads via some ducting (good ole' ducktape and cardboard) is about 15c degrees. My apartment ambient temp (another indoor/outdoor thermometer) is between 21c and 23c degrees. The question I have is if the the WC'ed 8800 is reading about 30c degrees with Precision (which it is) and the 9600GSO is reading about 48c degrees also with Precision. Does this sound even remotely possible or are my sensors all fubared.
My CPU's are about 24c to 28c degrees all around (are their sensor screwed up, I checked them with the sticking test in Real Temp 3.0 and they were cool). My temps are taken while using the F@H GPU2 client on core #3 and the WCG client locked on cores #0, #1, and #2. My boxen are 24/7 crunchers. If the above temps are accurate I'm gonna' get a gimongus pump and cool the hell outa' everything (I'm even gonna' WC' the cat if I can find a suitable WB, only kiddin )
Thanks for some imput. I know the cards are lower voltage (only one 6 pin connection) so they would run cooler I was just wondering how a mega card would fair. (Don't laugh these temps are recorded while DCing.)
