I have an athlon fx-60 running on an Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe with 4 gigs of ram. I'm using a Kingwin aquastar liquid cooling system on my cpu. I'm also using the proper amount of Artic Silver 5. Now, my idel temp seems to be around 44-47(celcious) and under load it can jump over 62. It hit 68 at one point. I'm using prime95 and sandra's burn-in process to test its load. My room's temp is around 23. Now...It seems like these are really high to me and I can't figure out if its my mobo not working (this would be the second one sent to me. I had to RMA it already...grrrrrr) or my liquid cooling system or something else. Any ideas or advice? Thanks for your help! |

I'd recommend you just switch to the stock cooler, with those temps. If you enable Cool & Quiet, it'll shouldn't be any noisier than that setup, and will definitely cool better.
At the very least, switch to a real watercooling system. There are maybe two or three good kits on the market. The rest are crap. I prefer air myself, regardless of the monetary concerns, but I could see using water on a high-end system like that.

You could also piece one together using the same pump/CPU block using your own radiator/hose and just use a T fitting to fill it up.
