Alphacool cpu block mounting issues

WHile I have finally gotten around to overclocking my cpu and gpu with great results, I feel the CPU block I have might not be used to its full potential. Course this could be me being too worried about a few degrees. How ever my test had very very differing temps when I was using aida 64. It was all over the place and never really got me a good average number. So is it my block not having a good mounting, or maybe its time for a new block?

May I ask what temperatures are you getting?

Use HWmonitor, and see what was max temperature after 30min running stress test.

If it's below 60°C, you don't have to worry about anything.

 

I'm just guessing here: Maybe temps are all over the place because water comes and water goes? So when pump pushes water, it will come cold one so temps will drop a bit and then slowly rise again and drop a bit etc. Not sure if that's how it works, but it seems kinda logical to me.

But I could be 100% wrong on this one, since pump is running pretty fast and water is moving all the time.

 

I'm realy interested in your temps :)

My temps were in the mid 60s, mind you mt i5 4690K was OCed to 4.5 with a 1.25V. And I was using AIDA 64 to test it for 30 minutes. I did get spikes into the low 70s.

Is your GPU also in the loop?

Did you stress test just CPU or also cache and FPU?

 

FPU and cache seems to cause much heat on CPU for some reason.

I think I tested the cache and fpu with the adia64 stress test. And yes, my 980 Ti is in my loop as well.
