My first water cooling, problem with bleeding

well when I did my first setup, I left the res cap off and just let the system run for a while. Occasionally tapping on some blocks and tilting the case back and forth. Tapping on the blocks helps move some bubbles that may be stuck there. Tilting the case will help with any air pockets in...

Do these temps seem high?

new load tests are pushing CPU Load to 67C under prime95 after 40 minutes. I guess it's ok since it's under 70C, but I just keep thinking that it should be lower. Ambient temp is around 24-25C, but the room does get a bit warm (bad ventilation, nothing I can do about it) Any tips or advice...

Do these temps seem high?

Well before I saw this post, I was still frustrated with what felt like high temps, so I re-applied some AS5 according to their sites directions (line method). At first the idle temps seemed higher, but i guess that was just my room getting really warm because of gaming/testing. A fresh...

Do these temps seem high?

Radiators

sorry to hijack, but is the recommended minimum of 3x120 because he's planning to OC to 4Ghz and have the GTX8800? I was looking at a PSU load calculator and it seems that OCing will up his heat by 100W? I'm currently working on expanding my GPU only loop to a GPU and CPU loop. I'd be running...

Watercooling 1xGTX285 with 1 Rad?

Does anyone know if the reported System temp in Asus Suite is the NB or the actual air in the case? Also is it possible for a System IDLE temp at 42C to just be the GTX285 dumping out it's heat on temp sensor or whole case? I'm hoping with the water cooled card, the system temp will go down...

Watercooling 1xGTX285 with 1 Rad?

lol sorry, i should've put 25C (atleast the thermostat is set to 75F). sorry not used to reporting things in C. I keep thinking about the high SYS temp and maybe I'm averaging i dunno, lol.

Watercooling 1xGTX285 with 1 Rad?

ambient temperature seems to be kinda off for me. The room temp is probably around 35C, however after some use (gaming for about an hour) the SYS temp will go from 40C to around 50-55C, settling then at 45C. I've read somewhere though, that Asus AI Suite temps can be off. I'm convinced that...

Watercooling 1xGTX285 with 1 Rad?

Any idea what it may be at load (not full benchmark just long gaming sessions)? I believe the GTX should survive up to 100C (not that anyone would want it there). Can I do this quietly and safely without ruining a new graphics card? Currently the highest I've seen my GPU temp was at 80C...

Watercooling 1xGTX285 with 1 Rad?

Just curious, but is it possible to cool a GTX285 quietly. Based on the reviews for the new BFG GTX285DD, I know that a single 120 rad can handle it with a high flow fan. However, my goal is to quiet my system. I've decided to start with just the GPU as that's the only thing annoying me...
