AIO liquid cooling

[Blerkk]

Hi,

 

So I got my CoolerMaster ML240L and installed. So my problem is that I plugged my fans to the cpu_fan and the pump to cpu_opt (I've changed the cpu_opt speed to full speed in bios to get the constant full speed) but for some reason my r5 2600x is 50-55C on idle. I applied enough thermal paste so that shouldn't be a problem. Anyone got any idea what am I doing wrong or what should I do? (I am running stock speeds, no oc at all)

Best regards, Blerkk.

Try tilting and shaking the case/cooler around. You might have an air bubble trapped in the pump or something. You'll also want to check the coolant level in it if you remove it.

 

I'd RMA if it still has issue.

step 1, check to see if you have a reading from the pump header as to what speed it's running, just to be on the safe side. usually though, if a pump isnt running, coolant temps will reach TJmax pretty quickly. if you don't know which software entity refers to that header, an easy way to tell is to open up something like HWmonitor, look at the fans section, then unplug the pump header, wait 1-2sec and plug it straight back in again. There should then be a fan header in software with a high "current" value and a "min" value of 0

Okay so appreantly I can not really unplug the pump while it is running since It is almost unaccesable lol (picture)
I remounted and applied some more thermal compound to places where it wasn't enough (I mean it probably was enough, but I prefer to more other than less)

Where should I check in bios that my pump is not going crazy with voltages?
Also I forgot to mention that now that I remounted the cooler, I am getting 45C on iddle but it randomly jumps to 50-55C WHILE DOING NOTHING, so a 10 degree C jump isn't normal I think.

And why my clock speeds on all my cores are 4.2Ghz why I did not oc at all? I am confused

And so these would be my BIOS settings. and (as I probably not mentioned yet) in bios I get a stable 36C and thanks to my custom fan curve, not noisy at all, but as soon as I jump into windows, my temp goes crazy to ~50C
