Need advice on direction of cooling. 9 fans isn't enough apparently.

JACKO4590

Hey guys. So I built my system a couple of months back after using a system I built nearly 7 years ago. I seem to be having issues with cooling where as I don't reckon I was before. 
Old specs were 

 

  • 1080ti sli asus
  • z390-a asus motherbored
  • i7 9800k
  • aio cpu cooler 240mm
  • 32 gigs ram 3200 team force
  • about 3 case fans (2 on bottom intake, one on back exhaust, 2 on aio cooler at front) - some inwin fans 120mm
  • inwin infinity case.

 

Now I had upgrades to the below machine 

 

  • 3080 10 gig rog strix
  • z790 d4 asus tuf motherbored
  • i9 13900kf
  • aio Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360L V2
  • 64 gigs ram 3600 team force
  • 6 case fans (3 on bottom intake, 3 on top exhaust, 3 on side on aio intake) - Cooler Master SickleFlow ARGB 120mm Fan
  • Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic

 

I have also since got a Elgato Stream Deck Plus and one of the useful apps is the HWiNFo where I am able to monitor my temps and load. 
I notice I seem to hit thermal throttle a fair bit while gaming. This was almost every time I played a game. I have since removed the mesh filters from my case (top, side and bottom) and that has decreased the temps a fair bit. But in games like Minecraft, Cities Skylines 2 and BF 2042 I am hitting t/t almost on and off all the time. 
Surely this can not be good for the computer. And While I also play AoE4 I dont see the t/t or any higher temps then about 80 in that game.

The aio pump has already been taken off and thermal paste applied a second time just in case that was the issue. Same results afterwards.

 

I am not running any AI overclocking but I do have xmp2 turned on and resizeable bar as well. (as recommended by the LTT videos I watch) 

 

What is my next step? Better aio? Bigger fans like a 140mm? I know the 13900 is a hot card. But it was pretty cheap and kinda wanted a card that will last another good 7 years.

I knew I came to the right spot. I've gone through this video and followed it. Lets hope this helps me out.

telling us what the temps are,  and under what load

Ok running minecraft on a new world still causes it to thermal throttle. This is after disabling Asus multicore enhancement. 

 

Any other ideas I should be looking at?

No amount of case fans will help much the AIO to cool the 13900K reactor, need a better AIO or custom cooling on a delidded CPU

Get the biggest Arctic LF3 that can fit in your case, think an Intel 1700 bracket is included 

Also rad front isn't very good as it blows hot air in and severely reduces airflow in the case, top is better imo

I hope the bottom part of this screenshot will help you. This is me playing bf2042 on med settings windowed (was black screening and fans on 100 crashing to computer restart before on default)

its pure pc porn 🙂  

two things comes to mind:

1: fans do better in push than pull, (and the sicle flows are... yeee)

2: the block is not tight enough against the cpu maybe?  (one time i mounted the legs on the cpu block the wrong way and i got temps like u)

What did he do ? Slapped an A/C as "case fan" ?

I'm lost here what misinformation did my post spread ? I just said OP 360 AIO is not a good enough one if it throttles at 220W

High end aio + undervolt if I remember correctly

 

Op has a ml 360 something a peerless assasin beats

this does INCREASE temps, we want them down.

That's not the point here but it's also not necessarily true.

This might be the best addition to this particular PC for CPU temps, any of the high end i9 and i7 CPUs benefit a ton from the bracket. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

no? 

the bigger surface area

the bigger area for fresh air

the front intake 

the push pull benefit 

and the fact that nhd 15 was beat by a 120 😛

Something like a peerless assassin has absolutely massive surface area, and push pull, and area for fresh air despite the fin density. 

 

I'm still not gonna recommend that @JACKO4590 get a new cooler. I think the LGA 1700 bracket is the best move here.

Its a ml 360 the worst aio there is.

 

Here's a review

 

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-se/2

 

The fl's are the new BETTER versions and they dnf on no power limits whilst the peerless is chilling.

 

The ml 360a and fl 360 are simply bad coolers

Absolutly that will give a good bit of reduction already.
