Hiya guys.
Ok, this is what im running

Normal Load, the CPU Probe is running at 80F Deg ( Case Mode 2 )
Full Load (Heavy Gaming) 90F Deg (Case Mode 2)
Full Load (Heavy Gaming) 82F Deg (Case Mode 3)

Im running the Koolance PC2 650 and i LOVE wawa.

System Specs
350W Psu......
P4 2.6 Gig HTT 800mhz FSB
Intel d865PERL Board
BFG Asylum Gforce 5600 Ultra Vid Card
1024mg Kingston Ram
Onboard LAN and Sound ( no bashing please )
Koolance CPU Water Block
Single Case fan in back
120Gig Western Digital HD


Ok, so at mode 2, full gaming, my onboard intel heat monitering software goes into an alert for the Ram after about 5 min of gaming hard core (BF1942: DCmod) i swap it to mode 3 (Lift - Off Mode) and it handles the job right

So what im asking, am i getting proper cooling durring normal loads?
i know i need to do something with the ram.. any suggestions? and does anyone reccomend The Liquid Cooling for a HD and MBoard?

Also please share you experience with an inline water temp probe
 
"Alert for the RAM"? I've never heard of RAM with any sort of temperature probe .. Koolance sets can cool the CPU, VGA and Chipsets. I don't know of any liquid RAM coolers and it's such overkill you barely ever hear of anyone trying it... :confused:

At any rate, I rank Motherboard liquid cooling as not terribly important unless you perform a massive overclock, and even then a really good HSF should be enough. But if you want quiet it's not a bad idea. As for the hard disks. I find liquid cooling a hard disk to be pointless overkill. Just put some slow quiet fans in front of them (like in the front of the case as most allow) and you're probably golden. Or if you don't mind noise, use powerful fans there.

At any rate .. hard drives run hot, it's the very nature of things. I have ancient disks running very hot and they have no issues at all.
 
cool, thanks for the feedback,... my mboard has an onboard sensor around the RAM Slots..... and there getting around the 115 range? should just some heatsinks on the ram help?
 
Remember that when you move to water cooling your CPU, you're taking away a fan that usually blew over the northbridge and RAM. My chipset heatsink gets really hot now unless I keep the side panel on so the fans can blow on it.
