CPU Temp Under Water !

[marluk]

HI 

 

I just have finished mu water-cooled rig. Love IT but have an issue with CPU. I have 4770k working on 4GhZ ( not to much of an over cloak) and it gets 70oC when under stress test. Considering its underwater I thing it’s to much. And also when I try to overclocked more like 4.1 GhZ it hits 90oC and crashes benchmarks.  I have EK wateblock, EK 120, 240 and 180 Rads with an EK Combo pomp. I thing all works fine as my GPU never hits 70oC when under full load and its overcloaked 15%. When can a problem be ?? I have checked all inlets and outlets checked thermal paste and don’t have any more ideas. Please help

That is a lot of Rad for such a small setup.

You sure that pump isn't having issues pushing coolant through that many restrictions? Honestly you probably could have used just the 240mm rad and had excellent temps.

What GPU is that? R9 290? It should run cooler than 70C under water.

Hi 

TNX for replay 

Yes 3 rads are probably to much but soon I will get another 290x so got 3 for the future. do you thing that pomp is not strong enough ???? how to check that ?? some kind of flow meter ??? it’s a 290x its around 65c when gaming and overclocked to 1100 on core and 1400 on vrm so I thing its ok don’t you ???

Having room for expansion is good and all but yes, that pump probably isn't strong enough. A D5 or 655 would be better for high flow. Short of an inline flow meter you won't be able to tell how well its going really.

You should have kept it simple with a single 240mm rad for now and expanded the system if it actually needed it when you need it. Water cooling depends a lot on balance for success.

Yes your card temps look ok, but your CPU shouldn't be even close to those temps.

Here is a good resource for a basic setup, they also detail when and where to use more than one rad.

I will try just one rad for now. Tnx for help

No problem, glad to assist.

did you check your cpu thermal paste mounted correctly? because it could seem like its good but in reality it may have some bubbles witch could ponensialy lead to high temps or your cpu is defective and need a replacement. and dont you even think about deliding because you will most likely brake it. also if you want extreme cool cpu try indigo xtreme (the best thermal interface ever ! super alloy)

Tnx all for replying I will check thermal paste aswell but I do thing it's a pomp that's the problem
