2500k temps

[dasr1985]

Been a while since I've posted on here but I definitely have a post worthy question.

I revisited an old OC that I have tested and run in my system very confidently. Now, I ran my 4.5ghz oc with an h100i and temps never passed 61C even after 12 hours of prime.

I have since switched to a full liquid cooling loop:

240 radiator EK
360 rad ek 64mm
2 ek supreme ltx acetal and nickel gpu block
1 ek supreme ltx cpu block

NOw temps for the gpu never pass 47c even under load. The cpu however pushes 63 on prime. Just seemed like it should be much lower.

Loop order is

Pump - gpu. - gpu. - cpu - 240rad - 360 rad. - res...'

you could have a bad mount, but the water is probably heated up quite a bit before going through the cpu- last part would be my guess.

It maybe the GPUs heating up the loop. Do you have an overclock on the GPUs? That would make a difference.

[tryphaa]

What gpu is it? Its probably that thats making it heat up.

GPU temps are better worse of the same? if higher, check for air trapped in blocks.

already a couple of SLI/CFX members had the same issues and was an air lock in

SLI/CFX bridge. makes the GPU crazy temps and exceptional CPU temps. what vCore?

My GPU's are running great.  Idle around 26-31C and under load no higher than 46C nominally.  That was my thought, "could the GPU's be heating it up just enough to mess with the CPU temps under load."  CPU Temps at idle during an OC are same as always, 26C-31C, it's just those load temps that make me question it.  

 

Now, this weekend I will be swapping from my c70 to 750d, and with that I have purchased an actual EK Backplate for my CPU block.  What I'm using right now is an older backplate, and I was afraid to put too much tension on the motherboard by cranking down on the CPU block.  To add to the variables here, how hard do you guys crank down on your CPU blocks when you're using a mounting system which does not stop you at a certain point?  Like the corsair mounts where they only let you tighten down so much in order to protect the board and also because it is calibrated to be efficient at that point.  Hope this makes sense.

 

In the 750D, I'll be changing the loop order to place a reservoir in between processors this time also.

if your pulling the loop apart once you get mobo and cpu in, try testing it again on its own without the gpus or anything else see if it made a difference just by switching back plates and reseating the block

Being tired this morning, now it seems obvious to do this, either way... GENIUS!!! Thanks! lol

was surprised no one else ever mentioned it since your pulling the loop apart anyway

[dasr1985]

I meant radiators not reservoirs above
