OC'd Watercooled Temperatures

[rjbarker]

Hey guys...been running this Loop for a few weeks now...close to that anyhow, so just want your thoughts on my Temps.....okay..?...or is my OCD once again taking hold

First the Loop:
Pump: D5 Vario / Res combo - pump running at a tad over #2
XSPC EX 360 Rad up top - push / pull Corsair SP Series exhaust
XSPC EX 360 Rad below - push / pull Noctua NF F Series Intake

2 x 780Ti w EK Full Blocks
3930K w EK Supremacy Copper / Acetol

Been playing around with my CPU OC a bit, gaming etc and thse are my Temps:
Ambient Room Temp around 22c

CPU: 101 Bclk * 48 = 4.85 Ghz w 16GB Corsair Doms @ 1880 Mhz 9-10-9-27 2T
EDIT: Forgot to mention Offset OC'ing - vcore under full load 1.392v - 1.401v
GPU's: +145 Mhz Core / +260 Mhz Memory = Run at 1244 Mhz gaming

CPU under full load LinX 15 Cycles - Core Temp: Max Temps 71c - 65c- 62c - 69c - 60c - 68c
All idle around 27c - 32c
I believe with my previous Swiftech H320 push / pull just cooling my CPU the Temp were about +6c compared to present Temps.
Playing BF4 I get a Max CPU Temp of 64c with all the other Cores around 55c - 58c

GPU's Peak Looping Heaven or a 60 min session of BF4 stabilize at 45c - 48c (both seem to idle at whatever the room temp is)

All Fans on the Rads are running around 80% - so there 1450 RPM Fans, would think they're running around 1100 - 1200 RPM. (operate off of a Lamptron FC9 Controller)

So, these Temps seem alright?

Couple of things I'm considering:

1. I didnt install the 2011 Socket Jet Plate on the CPU EK Block (left the installed Jet Plat on, as instructions stated "optional"), would installing this reduce temps much on the CPU?

2. Adding a 240mm Rad to the Loop down below.....if I did this I think I would have 1 set of Fans on both Rads down below (not push / pull)

3. Swapping out the top 360mm Rad for a full Quad 120mm Rad up top.(and still adding 240mm Rad below)

Anyhow, for you WC Enthusiasts your opinions on my Temps is much appreciated, sorry, fairly new to the Wet World so still monitoring / questioning some basic stuff I know.

Seem fine to me.

[rjbarker]

^^^ Thanks as said...new to the splash so just kinda checking around....I'm positive the GPU Temps are fine but would hve thought perhaps CPU seemed a tad high...but no previous "base" or knowledge to compare just yet

[XtremeTechGaming]

^ Yeah you should be fine

[nj4ck]

yep, looks good to me. I get similar temps in my loop.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Those a great temps/what you should get with that loop setup.

[skline00]

Temps look good to me!. My 3930k is OC'd to 4.5Ghz and I never exceed 62C BUT you have yours to 4.8Ghz. I also have a RX360 and a MO RA3-420 with a single GTX780 Classified OC'd to 1305 on the core in a single loop.

 

You are getting great performance out of those EX 360s considering the amount of heat you are throwing in the loop. Your 3930k has to be throwing 200W+ into the loop along with 300W per video card. 800 watts/130 =6.1 120 mm rad spaces so if you have room throw in a 240 rad to give you some extra thermal space. 

[rjbarker]

^^^ Yeah okay perfect....its what I needed to hear guys....yes, I do have room for another 240mm Rad down below, was going to keep the "theme" the same and go with another XSPS EX240....as said I could also swap out the upstairs EX360 with a EX480...but I've already "more" than exceeeded my budget Adding the 240 and leaving the 360's would be the best "economical" solution at this point.

[airdeano]

you'll get to a point of diminishing return by adding more radiators/fans as the

"more is better" philosophy tends to fizzle out and instead of 5° drops, turns into

2° drops and then eventually no change.

 

what you have now is prolly the best it will be. what rpm are the fans?

[rjbarker]

Fan are all 1450 RPM (Noctua NF F and Corsair SP silent)....running all of my Lamptron FC9 Controller around 75% (push / pull).

[airdeano]

75%?

nf-f12 are 1500rpm and the sp120qe are 1450 @ 12v

@ 75% nf-f12 should be 1125rpm and the sp120qe should be 1100

 

and for grins, disable the push fans and retest, what temps are you

seeing? this can determine if the coolant is saturated and can not

recover to a "best" temp.

[rjbarker]

^^^^ Yeah it would take a fair bit of fartin around to disable a set on one Rad....think I'm going to go ahead and throw one more 240 in the mix and see how it does....wont be for a few more weeks though

[airdeano]

good luck, but don't be surprised that your temps don't come down much if any.

[rjbarker]

^^^ I hear you for sure, I think its more my OCD at this point that simply doesnt like that "bare spot" where I know I can easily fit another small Rad

Thanks agan guys for all your input
