overheating

[blameflask]

hello there i am kinda at a loss with my cooling.

 

 

Motherborad: ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING

GPU: MSI 1080 ti aero

CPU: I5 8600k

 

Cooling: 

ekwb a240g
ek-fg 360 expansion pack

 

when gaming i see temps of 78-83 on cpu and 58-63 on gpu
idle before gaming is 35-38 cpu and 31-34 gpu
after gaming cpu 48-51 and 37-40 gpu

what does the green blob mean?

probably pump/rez combo.

 

OP. You shouldnt really see temps above about 50c when gaming with water cooling. My guess is you have something wrong on the ports the fittings are plugged into. Those temps are normal on the CPU. 

[GrockleTD]

did op set up the fans correctly?

is it really normal for a water cooled cpu to be around 80c

under load, yes. 

[blameflask]

would it make any difference to switch from alu to nickel in cooling.

mostly want to switch so that i can try hard tubing for a cleaner look

These temps are quite bad even considering they are aluminium. I would suspect there is some air trapped in the system. A series of photos of your system may be helpful.

Try making all rad fans as intake and at least one fan as exhaust.

[SolarNova]

Change your rad fans to exhaust. All of them. yes your going to have negative pressure which means you will need to keep your PC clean from dust more often ,, BUT you will get better temps.

High heat load loops that recirculate air from one rad to another are actually hampering their perofmance. Just run up ur system to temp and feel the air coming out the top rad, its going to be warm. The front rad heats the air and then ur passing it through the top rad, you dont want to be doing that.

 

 

Also might want to delid and change internal TIM on the CPU, those things have SHIT internal TIM, thats why they run hot even at stock.

 

other than that just make sure ur pump is running fast, and you have purged any air thats in the loop.

Your problem on the cpu side is that you have TIM between the CPU's heatsink and the processor die. You can delid your processor to fix this but it comes with risks and isn't a novice venture. 58-63 isn't that bad for a gpu gaming...both of mine hit 83ish on air cooling so that's a 20c difference. How much voltage is being sent to your processor? Are you overclocked?

 

Your airflow diagram is fine, leave it alone.

i don't know much about overclocking but this is what is says in the intel utility

No need to change your CPU or GPU settings... You water is too warm in the loop. Gotta improve the heat transfer from radiator to air...

Try front and top fans as intake to provide fresh air.

i tryed changing the fans. it increased the heat

[airdeano]

remove the roof and front panel. if temps drop, your case is causing the 'overheating'.

well-known the evolv is very restrictive in airflow to promote best thermals for radiators.

[Dschijn]

If the case is really that restrictive you should consider modding it to improve airflow.

[blameflask]

the temps does drop so the problem is the case. but i'd rather not try and cut in the case since i don't wanna fuck it up and have an ugly looking case after. does any of you know if you can buy a modded top and/or front to the ENTHOO EVOLV ATX

I was looking at using the same case until I saw the issues. They are pricey panels, but they work. I ended up going with the Define S after seeing the issues online.

thank you for helping me. these are some awesome panels but i do see the price and then shipping it to my country would cost a lot. so i did a little digging and found this version of the case with airflow vents that is being sold in my country, it costs 40$ more but on the plus side i get a brand new case and then i can allways try modding the old to see if it would work

i changed my overclock settings just for the fun of it and at the look of it after some test it seems to run cooler then before, before changing case or panels ( and they are still on )
my overclock might have been unstable?

New celsius
CPU: 62-68c 

GPU: 42-47c
 

Old

CPU: 78-83c
GPU: 58-63c

 

change made
Processor Cache Ratio from 40x to 44x
active core from 47x to 48x
core voltage 1.300v down to 1.275v

You mean copper. The stuff you're looking at is copper, or copper with nickel plating.

Your OC being stable or unstable has nothing to do with it. You reduced the voltage and the frequencies, which caused the temp drop. The Fluid Gaming isn't all that great as you can see.
