Yeah that makes sense. I didnt think about that I swapped the order and that actually made a 10 degree C difference. Now the order is: res->pump->GPU->360 Rad-> CPU -> 120 Rad -> Res I have my CPU running at 4.2Ghz @ 1.2125 Volts and it settles around 77C in Aida after testing for 3 hours (CPU only) but then the fans are pretty audible... I have a very cheap block from alphacool lying around. I could test it with that one... And for the case I'm using the fractal meshify C, but even with sidepanels off CPU temps aren't really affected (2 degrees max). I have the front fans configured as intakes and the rear 120mm as exhaust and another 140mm at the top, also as exhaust. Thank you all again for your input

Thank you for your quick replies My Room temperature is about 21 degrees C. I have the pump running at 1600rpm and all 4 fans at around 1000-1100 rpm. from the looks of it the flow seems fine from what I can see in my res... And yes it seems that I got the inlet and outlet of the cpu block mixed... But can that really be the reason that my CPU is hitting 80C in Aida64 (only stressing CPU,FPU and cache)? When the GPU only is at 100% load (also with Aida) it settles in around 50 to 55 Degrees and when I stress both cpu and gpu the cpu even goes into the 90s... which is of course expected with the added heat of the gpu. But how can the GPU be cooled just fine and the CPU is almost burning when I stress them seperately.. I mean a 2080 ti isn't the coolest GPU out there... Edit: Added picture of my loop and video of res. Flow is: Res->Pump->GPU->CPU(I know not optimal but that bad?)->120Rad->360Rad->Res Edit 2: Also I checked the CPU Block seating and it seems to be mountet correctly. The thermal paste spread very evenly. Edit 3: Another thing that confuses me is that the CPU runs at 35C idle and when I start the stress test in Aida it instantly jumps to 70C. I built a few loops now and never had anywhere near those thermals.. IMG_0671.MOV

Hi, I recently build a new loop and ran into a problem with my temperatures. I have a 3900x with a 2080 ti cooled by 1x 360/30mm rad in the front and a 120/30mm rad in the back. But for some reason my CPU temps are in the 80s under load (only CPU) and the tubes get quite hot to the touch. I adjusted the CPU voltage to 1.21 volts because the default seemed to be 1.49ish. I really don't get why the temps are so bad... The pump seems to be running because I can see the waterflow in my Res.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try it with AMDs software and then report back, because my mainboards UEFI ui is really confusing

Hey guys, I just bought my new Ryzen 7 1700 and a Biostar x370gtn (Newegg)and i can't figure out how to overclock the damn thing. There should be two possibilities: either through the UEFI or through their Racing GT Software right? My Problem is that i don't really get any of the settings in either of the two options, so i was wondering if anyone has experience with this particular mainboard or software and is able to help me. Best regards, Schlass

Hey guys, today I finished my first custom loop inside my "Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX" case. It has been quite challenging for me, especially the reservoir placement and the tubing runs (I had to do the whole loop twice because two tubes kinked after I had filled the loop), but I think it was worth it. The specs of the system are the following: processor: i5 6600k mainboard: AsRock Z270 ITX/ac Ram: 8GB GSkill Ripjaws PSU: Corsair CX600M GPU: GTX 980 Superclocked from EVGA SSD: Samsung 850 pro (256GB) I used two 240mm Radiators, and with prime95 running (Small FTTs) the temperatur does not go above 62 degrees C (At the Stock clock but im going to overclock the CPU in the next few days). At last here are some pictures (comments and advice/feedback are appreciated):

You could use Ebay Kleinanzeigen (https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/). There you can search for almost anything thats near you (it's comparable to craigslist). Best regards

The thing is I'm currently running it on 1.25 volts and on the stock coreclock and sometimes it even goes up to the mid 70s while playing csgo and I really don't think thats normal with an aio liquid cooler...

I tried setting the voltage to 1.25 volts and stress tested with AIDA64 (around 73 degrees after 10 minutes) and with prime95 (blend test, around 85 to 88 degrees after 10 minutes), everything below 1.25 volts becomes unstable. Compared to the temps that others get this still seems pretty high for stock clock speeds...

No I haven't tried undervolting yet (thats the next thing i'll try) but his CPU was running at around 1.3 something Volts and i put it into my system so I used the same cooler (Enermax Liquimax II 240)

So now i've locked the core voltage to 1.3 volts and its not going over 1.264 volts on the cpu vcore (VID never goes above 1.215 V). When I'm running Prime I still get to 85 degrees after 10 minutes or so (Blend test). When I stress test with AIDA 64 the temperature changes rapidly between 60 and 80 degrees. And during the stress testing with the above mentioned custom settings in Prime it hovers around 74 degrees. I also tested with an i5 6600k from a friend with stock clockspeeds and voltage and it was around 60 degrees (again prime95 blend test). So it can't be the cooler right? or are these temps normal for an i7? because it doesn't seem that there is any headroom for overclocking at all....

Alright then i'll try locking the voltage, testing with aida64 and changing the torture test settings. I'll write as soon as I have the results. Thanks again for all your answers

I checked the Bios again and in terms of clockspeeds and voltage there is everything set to auto (core voltage sais about 1.2 something). do you have any ideas what i can test? and could it be that the chip itself could be faulty? (I bought it used)

It only goes that high when I start prime95. I also tried Realbench just now (VID was only 1.3 something there) and the CPU got up to 84 degrees C after 1 minute. I am also getting around 40 degrees C when I am just using Chrome ( CPU utilization is about 5%).

At the moment I don't have any specific fan control software but HWMonitor sais that the CPU fan (I have plugged in the Pump on that Header) is spinning at 2410 - 2445 Rpm and it doesnt make any significant difference if i give the fans on the rad full speed (they have a switch on them where I can control their maximum speed). I added a screenshot of the HWMonitor read-out. And thanks for the quick answers so far
