3930k overheating?

[Anfroney]

Getting surprisingly high temps running my 3930k stock and lower voltage. What could the problem be?  Coolgate 480mm Radiator with a phobya  uc-2 block. I have flushed out my loop twice and cleaned the block with no luck.  Would i need to try a different block for it?

What's complete loop`? 66 °C is a bit warm for such a cooling setup. Also what fans do you have and what's your ambient temperature?

Ambient temp is around 20c, i got 6 silverstone ap 121's running at medium to high speed. I use to have my 3 video cards in the same loop but i decided to put them separate to make sure it wasnt them making it overheat.

is the thermal paste still good? Maybe that is an issue?

tried 2 different thermal pastes with many spreading methods, no difference.

prolly an air bubble stuck in the CPU block. the direction indicates the exit is at

the bottom and the inlet is in the center. and what's left is the pocket of air above

the inlet that will not exit as air does not travel down to well.rotate CPU block 180°

and rebleed.

Rotated the block back to its up right rotation and still getting hot, ive been trying to drain all the bubbles out of the loop. still high temps as of this time.

i use to have a h100i on it and that was getting hotter so i swapped it out, could it be the cpu itself not having the thermal paste between the dye and the heat spreader right?

@Anfroney

 

the LGA2011 i7 CPUs are all soldered die to IHS, so it is not like the ivy/haswell

issue of ill-applied TIM.

 

stock clock, warmer temperatures both with H100i and custom loop. 66° A=20°

3 fans on the 480? 8-pin EPS fouling the lower fan? got any stouter fans for testing?

i got 6 fans on the 480mm rad, 4 in pull and 2 in push, i couldnt add 2 more to pull cause of hdd's in 5 inch bays and the 90 degree fitting.  i could proibably try to move the fitting out more to fir a 7th fan. here is photo of top fans http://puu.sh/9rkWi/6cd63ac0fa.jpg

fixed up the temps issue,  had to change the setup of my loop. use to be  Res Pump Rad Cpu,  Now it is Res Pump Cpu Rad.  temps maxing at 46c stock clock. time for some nasty overclocks

I'm still going to say that you dislodged an air bubble, because sequence makes little to no difference to temps.

i took loop apart before and cleaned everything and tried it in the rad than cpu config, temps where still high,  im guessing the pump doesn't have alot of pressure behind it or the cpu block has a dense water channel.  

Atm ive run prime 95 for 2 hrs or so with CPU at 1.3volts and 4.375 ghz.  http://puu.sh/9xopt/af312b6f8b.png  

 

Didn't feel like much water was passing loop in old setup.
