3930k overheating

[Anfroney]

Issues with 3930k, Im getting ridiculous temps on the cpu, tried putting back to stock clocks and parking cores but it seems to be just hot all around. Custom loop with dual 240mm rads

probably a bad application of thermal compound, try re mounting it  

[hehehehhehehehe]

Are you just running a CPU loop??

Has it been like this since you first mounted the waterblock?

Edit: just looking at your GPU temps and they look like there watercooled... If that's the case then there's your problem, 480mm worth of rad space isn't even going to come close to cooling everything adequately....

Yeh, most temp problems are related to application of the heatsink or water block.

To be honest it looks like either your ambient temperatures are just damn high (the hard drives are on the warm side) though that may be due to a front 240mm rad passing heat over them.

And as previously mentioned, 480mm isn't enough rad space for a triple SLI and CPU loop.

is this at idle or load? if its at load i wouldn't worry

im still adding to my loop, howmuch rad space would you recommend for 3 videocards and the 3930k?

Depending on your case, a thick 480mm + 240mm would probably do, there's a general rule of thumb for each waterblock you add you increase rad area by 120/240 or something along those lines.

480mm+360mm/480mm+480mm would probably be the best setup for it though.

seems like i gotta get a new case to support it all, im thinking of getting the Phanteks Enthoo Primo and tossing in 2 480mm rads and putting in one of my 240's. should be more than enough with that right

Assuming the 480mm rads aren't thin and have a decent FPI, then it will definitely be enough.

they should be fine  60mm thick and 7fpi

Try to remount the heat sink to the CPU. The thermal paste might have a air bubble or something

[ragedev]

When I was using the XSPC RayStorm 750 Custom Loop Kit, I did manage to hit 4.7GHz @ 1.3~V at around 75C and that was only with a single 240

This doesn't sound like the radiator is holding back at all. If it did your rad would feel very warm. If the water temp is around 35° (ambient temp 25-27°) and your CPU is overheating just pretty much means a bad contact or the loop is just bad. How much paste did you use? What paste do you use? Arctic silver 5 is garbage, it's just too thin and requires lots of experience. Get Noctua nt-h1 and use the same amount of paste as he did here -> http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2013/01/thermal-paste-thermal-100021574-orig.jpeg

I'm sorry but a 240mm radiator isn't even coming remotely close to properly cooling 3 GPU's and a Sandy bridge E CPU...

[Maslofski]

is there a radiator in between the GPU and CPU?

The difference between ordering a loop and just making the straightest runs between components is probably a max of 2-3c max.

i thought that ive he has the water that goes trough 3 GPUs, it might not be as good for cooling, but i guess not

Once the water in the loop has equalised the difference Wi be all but negligible

He has two 240mm rads, sorry.

Sorry, my bad. That still doesn't change what I said though 480mm worth of rad space isn't enough for 3 GPUs and his CPU either...

Lol what? 480mm 7fpi 60mm thick is more than enough.

He has THREE video cards and a SB-E chip.  Sorry, but 480 is probably the absolute bare minimum for that config.

 

OP:  What are you ambient temps?  We need to know that before we can tell you if those temps are anything to be concerned about.

And? This card would pull 150W max -> http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/130272/asus-gtx670-4096-120821.html

So 350W when all cards are at 99% and possibly vsync enabled so ditch a few more wattages off it and a 3930K that's half of the time not even on its half load so a 480mm rad is more than enough.

Nevermind, I read it wrong. Not used to Tapatalk yet.
