Re: [My Review] Adventures in Cooling - Corsair H50 said by koitsu:said by DKS:Quiet, actually. Fans are quite unobtrusive. ... Your RealTemp screenshot above doesn't appear to be during load? It's hard to tell though -- it shows 6.4% load, but I can't tell if that's talking about CPU load or GPU load due to the unintelligent placement of the statistic in the UI (it's right next to GPU temperature). That's CPU load.
Regardless of whether it's at idle or at load: the first sets of photos you provided indicate water cooling is in use on the CPU. If the screenshot is from the system with water cooling, then those temperatures are a complete atrocity. I have an air-cooled Q9550 system (not overclocked) with a Nexus HSF that runs at around 2000rpm in a room with a fairly high ambient temperature that has the exact same temps -- at idle -- as what you show, with max temps that reach absolutely nowhere near what yours are. See my screenshot. I can describe my setup in full + provide pictures if need be.
Huh? This isn't a pissing contest. I really don't care whether your computer runs cooler than this one. That's irrelevant. I'm having some fun and I'm sharing the experience. No agenda here other than that. If you want to engage in some kind of contest for bragging rights, please start your own thread.

Pacifica, CA | I think your misreading the intent of Koitsu's reply.
I think he is offering to help you get your temps down to better levels by showing you how he did it. |

...in order to be helpful. In fact, the current temps are a good 10C or more below air cooling. My idle temps are acceptably low, in any case.
