Posted July 22, 2021 I have a ryzen 5600x, and a corsair h100i platinum se mounted to the top of my lian li PC o11 blowing air out the case. The problem that I have is that, since the cooler is blowing air from inside the case out. My coolant temp gets to levels that cause the default fan curve to literally max out. With my 3080 blowing hot ass air into the case, my cooler has to blow that hot air through the rad and that causes my coolant to hit temps around 36c-38c at a 2300RPM fan speed, at that point my PC is an actual jet plane. I adjusted my fan curve so that its not a jet plane, but now my coolant temps are at 44c-46c. Is that safe for long term usage? I don't really have a choice other than remounting my cooler so that its intake instead. But from what I've seen most people have their CPU coolers set up this way and I don't see anyone else complaining about this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 22, 2021 I would try to keep that coolant as cool as possible. Not just for the sake of keeping the CPU cool, but to keep the coolant in the unit. Permeation is real, and this will not help.. I would draw outside air through the rad.. but I always go against what is considered normal.

So far from against normal :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using fresh air makes a lot of sense, but I still don't understand the fact that from what I've seen most people have their Rads set up the same way I do but no one else seems to complain about the problem that Im getting.

What case do you have? What are the temps of the cpu and gpu? Is your pump set to spin at max or near max speed? Might just be a little tweaking is needed for temps to calm down or you just have a bad airflow case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CPU temps are in the low 70s which is fine, im just worried about my coolant temps. And my gpu gets to like 72-74c 3. my pump is at its default curve, setting it to max barley reduces the coolant temp from like 45c to 44.3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have adjusted fan curves but now my coolant temps are at 44C-46C, and i need to know if that temp is safe or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
