So I'm having continual issues cooling my 5950X - My 3090ti has no issues and runs overclocked in the high 50s to 60s. My CPU however always thermally throttles when playing games. I have a belief that the extra runs in my loop are slowing down the fluid so it takes longer to get the heat away from the block. Also not sure if it has anything to do with the glass tubing but I don't think so. I do have two 54mm thick 3x120 rads top and bottom. The fluid return on the top of the res is slow flow. I added the picture of the cooling routes for you to see.

 

Idea : replace the run from the top of the gpu straight into the CPU instead of going from the gpu to the distro and then going back to the cpu

 

Water Cooling Specs

Cpu Block - EK Velocity

GPU Block - EK front and active backplate

Tubing - Glass

Res - EK Distro Plate

Pump - D5 at 100% pwm

loop order dose not matter nor dpse flow. as long as its 1gpm thats good enough. distros do slow down the speed thow same with 90 degree fittings but that's probly not the problem.

I know I have air trapped in my top radiator but have no idea how to bleed it. I belive it's less than 1gpm it's like a trickle coming out back to the res

you try to move the case around?

Even flow rate no longer matter in the age of DDC and D5 pumps, itll provide enough flow either way.

 

Also OP what fluid is this? Is it meant to be clear or is it EK's own Mystic Fog?

well before the jetplate it was the rage. 7gmp was the norm... 2x d5 pumps 13v and 120mm thicc rads... but then the jetplate stopped that. you still get 1c lower for every 1gmp but its stupid to need to get more. and people were pooping fittings off... so it was for the better and temps were better anyway.

It's Mystic Fog

Here is the video of the flow rate

That looks scary as fuck, I would be so paranoid to do anything with the unit lol
