Hey guys..so I have the Swiftech Kit in my sig. With my Q6700 @ 3.6ghz, it's worked great. But now I'm running a Q9650 @ 4.2ghz, and idle temps tend to be a bit high - 50 50 39 39 idle (yah i know, freaky cores 0 1 / 2 3 temp split).
I was just wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade the waterblock to something new like a GTZ or other blocks that may be good.
As an FYI about my setup, the pump and res sit next to each other in the 5.25 bay area and the 3x120mm radiator is mounted to the ceiling of my Cosmos S. Case temps tend to be quite cool for the most part, and the cpu is the only chip in the loop (no gpu or chipset).
It just feels like the GT may be a bit overwhelmed.
Anyway any suggestions would be great.
