So when i bought my water cooling (aqua gate S1) system it said to change the fluid every 6 months.. but me being me said ahh f**k it i dont need to change it.. well last week im checking out coretemp readings and im idling @ around 60 degrees C with my E8400 im like holy crap wats goin on here. max temp is 72 for that chip..
i reseat the copper block with new thermal compound thinkin that was the problem.. no it wasent.
so i decide to change the water i picked up some PC PURE coolant from microcenter and WOW wat a differance! i couldn't beleave it
under load it went from 70 degrees down to 50
and idol it went from 55-60 degrees down to 41 (im averaging both cores)
so yea change ur fuild!!!!!!!!! lol
How have ur systems been holding up and what are you u guys using?
