Phoenix MLC vs Proper Custom Loop GPU temperatures

[TheNaitsyrk]

Hiho,

 

Quick question to those who have at least 1x 2080 Ti in a loop. I am using a single 360mm Phoenix MLC for each of my 2080 Ti and when I game I get 47-50C max at 3440x1440.

 

When I disable 100hz (b-sync) I get about 55c. Are these temps good?

 

I just wonder if it's up to par with proper custom loop, or near it.

2x 2080 Ti on 1x 360mm radiator or 1 per radiator?

 

Either way I think they are good temps (of course) however if your pumps could run faster, or your fans faster (noise) then you would get better results (thermal equilibrium lowered, and reached much slower) but if you are already getting these temps running full bore Im not sure how you could improve unless you have air bubbles, or have not the best fans currently in use.  But for that kind of money I doubt it

 

EDIT - or open air them, make sure they are only blowing cold air through them only(I.E. either both intake - completely unrestricted for best results - or standalone outside the case to ensure none ambient temperatures aren't affecting it)

Each 2080 Ti has it's own 360mm radiator. No air bubbles that I can see.

Delta Fans and earplugs  

 

Lowering the ambient temperature in the room will help if you are looking for lower - just read your sig - unless you do that or add way more rads (see Jayz video on 2c above ambient loop) you are likely going to see very little improvement.

I mean temps are not high, but I wonder if I add pumps. Whether that's gonna help or not. I think flowrate is fine however.

My only testimony to this is that last I recall (I have to find 2 hours to run the test to get exacts) it was a 5-7c difference with same fan settings of (have 2 options on my AIO) 1500 rpm or 3000 rpm.  3000 rpm gave me the best results (and I couldn't tell a difference in sound) by far.  If you add a second pump in the line (Ive read here to make sure you run pump into pump to not cause any flow issues) it has to be the same speed or will cause issues.  And likely you have a great pump already.

 

There are those reservoir radiators you could get - very large (for a TINY improvement on temps with more water in the loop) and covered in a radiator for passive cooling if you are really wanting to get those last few degrees of C

 

Kryonaught on everything

 

Faster pump

 

Just a couple ideas unless they are covered

Using Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut on everything. I mean temps are not bad don't get me wrong. I was just wondering if they're okay.

 

Pump is integrated so yeah.

I'm running a 2080ti on an EK block with 360mm of rad just for it (2x 360mm rads, 2 components) and I'm getting ~50C when gaming. I wouldn't sweat your temps, they're fine

I played a bit of VR on Pimax 4K and I got 55C.
