about two months ago i bought an unused antec kuhler 920 unit for a bargain to replace my deep cool gamerstorm gabriel low profile liquid cooler and configured it with only 1 sp120 pwm high performance fan going pull and it is set to run 100% when the coolant temp reaches 47 degrees

im quite surpised that it's not performing that much better from that of the deep cool cooler, maybe about a 5-10 degree difference

when idle, cpu temp is 45 degrees while on load about 70 degrees

ambient temp in my country is 30 degrees

would these temps be considered normal for this cooler?

should I change the fan configuration for the radiator?

Hello,

For liquid cooling, the fans must be set either in "push" (fan --> radiator --> case) or "push-pull" (fan1 --> radiator --> fan2 --> case) configuration.
