| Glad to see improvement. Did the evap temp drop too, or just the cpu temp? Because the KX7 still reads from the mobo probe: temps could be exactly the same as before...

| yes, and I'm pretty sure I'm making better contact than before. Cause before I had "liquid slugging" which I don't have right now. Good sign |

| I don't get this... how come your evap doesn't go below -38???? you're running idle, it should be lower, unless you're pumping 2.2 volts in it... evap with every chip I used at any voltage went down all the way to -44 idle, and in the -35to-38 stressed... is there sth wrong with your cooler? how is it configured? at what temp do you get fullfan strength (I put it at -43)

| Well, I read a review where the guy got his prometeia replaced by a newer one and he got much better temps. And since I've got one of the first units, I'm a bit worried that I did get a less good unit... Didn't change any of the settings of the chip-controller. |

| my rig is also online. It has become a watercooling setup with the fridge als waterchiller. http://users.skynet.be/dur0n/Picture%20057.jpg http://users.skynet.be/dur0n/Picture%20058.jpg http://users.skynet.be/dur0n/Picture%20059.jpg http://users.skynet.be/dur0n/Picture%20060.jpg this thing makes a duron 1.2Ghz go 25°C at startup, 27°C idle and 31°C stressed. In overclocking that means: duron 1.2@1.435, 1.90v idle: 32°C, stressed: 34°C but there is one problem: the water is only 13°C, so my waterblock and tubing are condensating very quickly. to do list: bigger alu rad, retrieve from junkyard €5 anti condens kit with coldplate €0 (love working in a store ) peltier 54w 12v €0 and that's what i call usefull use of toiletpaper |

| extreme ghetto cooling nice job tho some ideas: - put also a reservoir in the fridge - insulate the tubing - in "den brico" you can buy some copper coils, maybe a better solution than a rad (see overclockers.com) |

| reservoir in the fridge? no way, if i turn of my pump, everything freezes in about 5 min, don't want to speed that up. tubing is going to be insulated, when i find propper insulated tubing. My waterblock is alu, so using an copper rad... maybe i'm going to order a good waterblock as well, but that would spoil the getto look of it for now, this thing costed me €50 |

| So, you're using just water? no methanol or anti-freeze? If you add some methanol, the water wont freeze that quickly. |

i know that those things prevent water from freezing, but i need to disassemble almost everything (new tubing, new rad, maybe new waterblock) so it's better that i let it als it is for now, and use antifreeze when installing the new components. | |

| i got me a pelt, a 54w model to be specific, and it truly rocks. -18°C when no CPU heat. but when i turn the main system on, my cpu temp skyrockets from -18°C to +55°C and then i shut it down because it's way to hot |
