It might admittedly be an issue with the pump flow rate, it is definitely pushing SOME water, as when i remove the molex connector while the system idles the temperatures start to rise pretty quick, but it doesn't seem like heat is getting distributed through the whole loop for whatever reason, any way to tell definitively if it is the pump? Bit expensive for me to buy a new one just to check

I can confirm the input and output are the right way around on the CPU block..

Forgive the awful sketching, hope it's at least legible, the components are a Raystorm CPU block, both Koolance 290x blocks, a RX 360 and RX 240 radiator, and a Vario D5 pump/reservoir combo

I can't take a photo of the loop because I'm not at home arm, but I can do up a little sketch, just a sec

The thing is that my coolant temps are NOT level, the water coming out of the CPU is hot enough to really soften up the tubes but the water going into the second radiator is room temperature, and there is at least some water flowing, as unplugging the pump heats up all components pretty quickly even at total idle.

Keeping in mind that the 290xs have a 250+ watt TDP don't have pictures sorry, just went out for the night

When I run the system full bore, my first GPU sits at about 70, the second GPU sits at around 84, and the CPU cores range between 80 and 90 (running a max power draw test)

Hi all, so I've had a water cooling loop running for my system for quite a long time now, upwards of a year, but I've never played anything that's put my system under major all-component loads. I recently put a combined system test on a loop and the temperatures were awful, with my CPU cores in the 80 - 90 degree range. I have a couple of 290xs and a 3770k on a single loop, and two radiators, one 3x120 and another 2x120, which should be enough for my hardware, but in terms of fluid route they are all on a single chain segment, ie GPU -> GPU -> CPU -> both radiators and repeat, and not only am I getting very little or no heat out of the second radiator but the fluid coming out of the CPU is noticeably hot, and the fluid coming out of my first radiator feels maybe just above room temp. Could the order of my loop be what's causing my high temperatures? I'm really running out of other solutions

Hey all, so I'm honestly looking for a bit of info on what is going on with my CPU temperatures. I have a liquid cooling loop which tends to do the job pretty damn well as far as keeping the system actually cool, but whenever I put even a moderate bit of load on my CPU, the core temperatures basically level out at 80 degrees or just under, while the CPU package temperature is sitting happily and constant at 45 degrees (sitting just above my other components as they idle indicating it's around fluid temperature). is this 30/35-odd degree temperature gap normal for core v package temp? or have I just managed to get a dud internal thermal interface. 3770k clocked at 4.6 Ghz at 1.3 Vcore by the way

I just recently got it aswell with the new update, on AMD hardware however, might be a dodgy patch.

It's not the total output you need to worry about, it's the current draw on the 12v Rail hitting a safety limit for even a split second. If you draw over x amount of current (usually the rated max current) in a sudden power spike, the PSU will trip the safety switch and shut down the 12 Volt rail until you flip the switch on the PSU itself (with most power supplies at least)

Sounds like what happens when the PSU's 12V rail stops functioning due to either burning out or hitting a current safety limit.

Now I know this most likely will have already been done, but have you switched the PSU off and on with the switch on the supply?
