arctic liquid freezer 2 280 argb + x570 taichi + 5800x HIGH TEMPS

[tuunade98]

i recently swapped out from my nzxt kraken x61 to the arctic liquid freezer 2 280 argb cpu cooler and am getting very high temps. When playing ready or not for example i was only getting 66 - 76 on the kraken x63 but with the arctic freezer 2 im getting 85- 90 quite consistently... I'am using noctua NF-A14s on the radiator and have it plugged in directly to the cpu cooler(this cooler has an extra cord coming out of the radiator for the fans... 

 

Now i know this cpu cooler only has one cord to control both fan speeds and pump, i've plugged this cord into the CPU fan1 header and in bios I've set CPU-Fan1 header to "performance" mode... What am i doing wrong here?? 

 

EDIT: idling temps are like 40 - 55

either the pump and fans aren't ramping or a bad thermal paste application, try maxing out the fan speed in bios and if its not any cooler check thermal paste

how do i check pump speed? i just opend up my pc just now again and both fans with a splitter to cpu fan 1 and pump to cpu fan 2/wpump header. But its not showing up any pump speeds in bios..

 

I also further tightened the cooler block and so far idle temps are alot better now.

 

EDIT: temp under load is still bad.. 90 degrees in game

nevermind guys im special, didn't peel off the plastic on the water block.

There's your problem... No worries, even Linus has done it.

Why they keep on using stupid plastic to peel off instead of a plastic cover that you have to take off from the block? You can't miss a big plastic piece covering entire pump block, but people clearly constantly forget to peel of the thin plastic.

Mhmm agreed. I mean it’s not a huge problem for people like me who like to monitor their temps… seeing 90 degrees was a big sign something was wrong, but you can’t really say the same for the average person.

 

I would imagine a lot of people don’t bother monitoring their temps and would have prollie never noticed the issue… my pc was running. 100% fine, performance was exact same and 0 thermal throttling…

How are your temps now?
