Temps are pretty high

[Chaoz-Theory]

Hey, so ive completed my loop but my 9900k is still running really hot (at least to me, im aware its a hot chip) 

 

So on idle im getting 45 degrees C and say running games itll hit up to 70-75C (there have been cases where ive seen it hit 80C)

 

9900k and 2080ti is being cooled in the loop with 2x 360mm rads (top exhaust and front intake) 

 

Cpu temps are aitting around 45-55c idle and say topping at about 75c under gaming loads) using hwinfo for core temps. It summer in australia right now but my room isnt incredibly hot id say its about 25c in my room so id expect my cpu to be about 30c not 45-55.

 

Is there something im missing? Ive reseated and repplied paste, cleaned my cpu block, still getting same temps

Is the CPU overclocked?

Thats a whole bunch of hot components. That actually doesnt surprise me too much. Buuut, we are missing a whole bunch of info

 

Copper or aluminum loop?

Case?

Rad placement?

Pump/Pump Speed?

Overclocked?

oh yea sorry shouldve added that, cpu is running 5ghz all cores, 1.245v

Copper or aluminum loop - copper (Ni plated) loop

Case - Lian Li o11 Dynamic

Rad placement - havent replaced it, but running 2x 360mm slims

Pump/Pump Speed - pump would be a distro block from bitspower, front panel sedna for o11 dynamic

Overclocked - yes, 5ghz all cores 1.245v

I see nothing out of the ordinary then. Those are 2 VERY hot parts.

really? i was expecting like 30-35 not 45-55

What’s the layout given that case? I’d assume a lack of air at some point. Which rads are they? You’ve ran ran the pump and fans at max already? Decent fans for a slim rad with high fpi?

layout goes, cpu > top ek 360mm SE rad (exhaust) >  side rad (same as top rad, intaking air) > front distro block which then goes to cpu and gpu.

fans are ek vardar 120mm.

not at max spd, if its idle itll be like 25% pump spd and fans are 50%, there are times i just leave pump at 50% and fans 50%

if im gaming then pump will be 50-70% and fans 70%

So no fans at the bottom for fresh air? 

Guess you could try with the side panel off and see how that goes. 

 

Think air flow is poor. Given the case layout and the rads used. 

 

I even did push/pull with it and it was quite limiting on flow.

its possible but if i ramp the fans up to 70% i can feel the air blasting out at the top and the side is pretty good as well.

Then there isn’t an issue.

so its normal to be idling around 50c?

You said the airflow is fine. I assume tim contact was already checked. So not much else to is.
