    DominicNikon reacted to Bianks84 in Ryzen 9 3950x running hot   
    I kind of glanced at that, but it's probably because the coldplate is offset vs standard so that the center of the coldplate is closer to the CCDs. I know Arctic included one in a later revision of their Liquid Freezr line of AIOs. Pretty sure Gamers Nexus has a video on comparing the temps.
     
    Honestly it's not enough of a difference to matter though. Though I would never believe that claim unless it was tested properly.
    Was looking at those blocks while planning for a custom loop and they look real nice.
     
    Found it: should be a timestamp for offset bracket testing

    I personally wouldn't bother with a sub until you get into higher budget ranges. In the $100 to $200 range you'd be better served by spending it all on a good set of powered speakers. Especially if you're using them nearfield.

    You were right, I had my dad check them out who worked on speakers before and the subwoofer is drying

    yes, it involves taking the cover off though.
    Than check the connections

    Autohotkey is always an option. It's a bit harder to use than something like iCUE or Logitech's software, but is way more powerful. Look up some example scripts for what you want to do, and figure out a type of script.

    If you just assembled the loop give it a day or 2 with pump running. If there are some air bubbles still they'll be gone by then.

    A lot of misinformation here. 75C is way too high for a watercooled gpu. With 2 480mm radiators the coolant temp is probably <10 degrees above ambient. GPU block should cool your gpu to ~15C above coolant temp. Your gpu temps at highest should be low 60's, high 40's to low 50's is what I'd expect with the raddage you have. The issue probably has to do with the gpu waterblock mount. Could've been that they didn't tighten it enough, not enough thermal paste, or forgot to remove a sticker. You could probably go to microcenter and tell them that you're hitting 80C with 2 480mm radiators and they should remount it for you. Or you could just remount it yourself.

    That's another possibility. Do you see any air bubbles in your waterblock? The other 2 possibilities are pump is not spinning, or fan rpm is way too low but I don't think either are the case. To get air bubbles out of your blocks set pump speed to 100% and tilt your computer in different directions.

    Bruh stop worrying about it, gpus will handle 95c just fine, even 105c in some instances
     
    Like i said if you want a cool system then go buy a stupid water chiller and stick that in your custom loop, pref set it to 20c so no condensation
     
    Again completely uneccesary unless you are an ocing nut like me and push your components to their limits

    75c is warm considering 80c is the most used number for a gpu that's too hot

    Set your system volume to one comfortable to hear the alerts, and set the volume of whatever you use for music lower to compensate down.

    So after I clean the pcie connector the only next steps is to take the block off, put the cooler back on and test the gpu?

    test your pc with igpu or another GPU. if there are no blue screens...
    just disassembly that watercooler and go back to standard air-cooling for a couple of days.

    Try doing it in safe mode now and do it again and make sure to enable safe mode with networking and go to command prompt [admin] and type /sfc scannow and after that finishes also do this. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth <~ and then you should be all repaired.

    Try doing system integrity checks and you might end up solving the issue with those if it finds errors. Command Prompt admin mode and type /sfc scannow
