Aio Cpu Temps Constantly fluctuating

[bebejapes]

So ive re mounted my aio radiator position that gamer nexsus dictated.

 

Now my cpu temps are fluctuating from 30-50 c in idle constantly.

 

any help?

I'm inclined to say that those are not true idle temperatures. Swings that rapid mean that something is being done (likely in the background), however brief, that is causing a spike. In response, your AIO is wokring as intended, bringing it back down.

is this new behavior since adjusting the orientation of your rad?

yeah this is the new orientation. this happens in idle like im not even running any software except for opera to watch netflix

Which is not idle in any capacity. I don't know what your system looks like in terms of specs, but just in writing this reply, I'm bouncing around between the low-mid 40's and low 50's (Rough estimate, 27° ambient). Most systems that are used regularly are never truly idle. Background processes can, and do, cause frequency and temperature spikes. Opera and Netflix are not a background process.

I feel you misunderstood the second half of my post, what's being asked is "Was this behavior happening before you adjusted the orientation of your radiator?"

so specs are:

r9 3900x - aio castle 360ex push pull config on side mount pump up tubes down

32gb ddr4 2400

1070ti sli

lian li o11 xl

top and bottom is set as intake, side and rear exhaust

Normal.  Ryzen boosts very frequently, far faster and more frequent than fans and pumps can ramp up to meet demand before the CPU ramps back down again.

but it didnt happen in the other orientation

Maybe you just didn't pay as much attention?  This is a normal characteristic of Ryzen CPUs.

i'll continue to monitor the temps.

 

or maybe since it was wrong orientation the temp reading was wrong.

 

my max temp though is like 70c but that was a spike it would idle unde rload at mid 50c

The orientation doesn't matter too much as long as the air bubbles have a place to accumulate higher than the pump.  Optimum is tubes down on the rad side, but rads are frequently already higher than the pump and air already gathers at the top of the outlet and inlet on the rad.  The performance difference will not be measurable until the water level gets low enough it affects flow, and that will be over many years.
