High CPU temps with custom loop

[OddsCrazyStuff]

So I went from a EK PE 480mm radiator with Bequiet! Pure Wings 2 to EK XT 480mm and EK XTX 480mm, with 16x (push-pull) EK Vardar 120ER for the CPU loop.

Granted, I added 2 ramblocks, motherboard mosfet and chipet, but I didnt expect the temprature to not change.

At max so does it seems to stay around 60-70 degress Celcius on the cores, with a room temp of 20-22 degrees Celcius.

Ether that is normal temp on i7-5930K overclocked at 4,4Ghz (voltage is 1.284) or something is very wrong here.

quite a thick radiator vardar might not be pushing enough air through also you should be fine as long as its not getting higher than 80C 

edit think i read the thing wrong

Is the water flowing through the CPU block in the correct direction?

It could your pumphone is struggling to push the water through all the rads and blocks.

Dont think its the fans thats the problem: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-vardar-f4-120er-2200rpm

Based on the manual, it does.

Nope, it should have enough power: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-xtop-revo-d5-pwm-plexi-incl-pump
At least I see flow through even at low speeds.
I also tested that with running the pumps at 100%, no change.

so im confused were you expecting the temps to go up or down?

When you are going from 1x 480mm radiator to 2x 480mm radiators, so should it go down.

oh i did read the question wrong whats you ambient temperature in the room 

[pagani123]

heres  someone said expect a few degrese increase if your using the same rad but you added an extra so im not exactly sure why thats happening

Room temp of 20-22 degrees Celcius.

Yeah, it seems to something wrong somewhere.

I can rule out fans, unless the splitters reduces there performance.

So that leaves me with bad radiators (not designed for my setup), bad flowrate (pump should be good, but maybe small tubes), the extra blocks offsets the extra radiator (which I doubt), bad termal paste (dont know how much that matters) and last, my cpu cant be cooled lower at that overclock (which I doubt).

A bad mount, wheter it'd be bad contact or lack of thermal paste, can end in 100+ degrees, so i would definitively try to remount the block and reapply new thermal paste!

How long have you had the loop up if you just set it up it might be bubbles still moving out of the system, also what are your idle temps if they are higher than usual it's usually a bad mount associated with it.

[airdeano]

got a picture of the build and tube routing?

could help out a lot..

Its been setup a few days ago, but I cant see any air bubles in the blocks. Idle temps seems to be 10 degrees Celcuis above room temp.

Maybe, but that is a pain with a monoblock, as I would need to take everything apart.

The runs might not be as clean as people say they should be, but I wanted more tubing to show. And I dont think its the problem.
