I just wanted to have a couple opinions on my liquid cooling setup and how effective you feel that it is. Here is what I have
CPU AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE
Aquagate Mini (pump and block and tank are all mounted right on the board)
I used new tubing custom fit to my case and have a thermaltake 120mm radiator cooling the liquid. Currently I have my CPU overclocked from 2.8GHz to 3.2GHz and with this setup I am seeing an idle temp of about 20C and after about an hour of prime 95 I am seeing temps that are stable at 42C. Are these safe temps to run at and with liquid cooling should I see lower temps than this? I am really new to liquid cooling. I got this Aquagate mini from a friend for 20 and thought I might as well try it out. ( I am a mechanical engineering student so experimenting with mechanical systems is what I love to do.) Is there anything you would recommend to me as it is my first water cooling that a newbie might forget about?
Thanks for the help or advise.
