So I just broke down my blocks and fully cleaned them after my Cryo-chillz disaster and i decided to run heaven bench for over an hour and noticed that my temps were down by a lot! Temps from Cryo chillz Cpu no load: 32c gpu no load: 29c Bench marked cpu: 57c bench marked gpu: 68c overlocked bench marked cpu:68c overclocked bench marked gpu:88c Now after cleaning the blocks after having to get a new pump due to the coolant clogging it here are the temps, also with distilled water only Cpu no load: 22c gpu no load: 17c Bench marked cpu: 43c bench marked gpu: 29c overlocked bench marked cpu:56c overclocked bench marked gpu:71c Is it possible that the coolant made that much of a difference? Or is it possible that i messed up installing the blocks the first time?
The coolant type (generally) won't make more than a degree or two difference. If you cleaned gunge from the blocks (CPU block mainly) it could have removed a lot of restriction which was causing higher temps. If you add around 50ml of ethylene glycol to a litre of distilled then it will help prevent corrosion, lubricate the pump and give some anti-bacterial protection. I always add a few drops of Benzalkonium chloride as well for anti-bacteria but it probably isn't needed. One of the most useful things you can add to the loop is a thermometer as it gives a quick indication of problems.
The build up in the pump is what was making the temps so high. and ill have to get some of that to add to the loop.
