Is there something wrong with my cooler?

[WhiteSkyMage]

Hey, has anybody used this cooler before? The H240X i mean from Swiftech. My CPU goes up to 78*C (1.75v) at 4.0GHz. When no OCed hits 55*C. This is on a hot day (~30*C). Is this normal? Should i perhaps switch to Corsair?

My system is in my sig.

1.75V are you sure that's correct?

[Fulgrim]

Is that whilst stress testing? If so, that's fine.

 

More more importantly, did you enter your voltage properly? 1.75v is way too high

[WhiteSkyMage]

1.75V are you sure that's correct?

Wait... Damn ... I read wrong. 1.175V

any voltage above 1.4v on the cpu is for ln2 / dice/ sub zero cooling man .... your gona kill your cpu at those voltages

Sorry... Refresh

[The Toaster]

Turn the voltage down!

EDIT: nvm 1.175

Alright... Sorry i hate writing on an Pad...

Anyways 1.175v i heard it's good from people from overclok.net... Im just curious about the cooler... Wasnt so high in any of the benchmarks at all...

Most benchmarks don't specify much, what stress testing are you using and is your voltage on manual?

Hope you aren't running P95.

 

Mine will hit the same temp but at 4.4GHz 1.27v with AIDA 64.

Not Prime95. I used AIDA64 and the Asus benchmark... I can't get it further than 4.2GHz cuz it crosses 80*C. I am going to have to maybe do a custom loop if i want to add a GPU to my loop?

I am looking to get GP100 Big Daddy Pascal to LC it.

The pump of the H240-X is powerful enough to drive more components. Just add an extra 240 or 360 rad(or 280, 420mm) whatever size that fits your case. 

 

Have you tried to re-do the CPU block mounting? Could be a slight bad contact/gas pocket of thermal paste/uneven pressure, that leads to bad temp. Also, do you mount the rad as intake or exhaust? A very hot GPU can dump load of heat in to the case. Then you're using the hot air inside the case to cool the CPU if you configure the rad as exhaust. Or if you've a case with restrictive air flow, or a very dense intake filter. That could hamper the cooling too. 

 

One more point. I suppose you're using the stock Helix fans come with the cooler. The fans are ok but not great. Better fans will help lower the temp by 2-4*C.

Well my case in in my sig - Vengeance C70 from Corsair. I have fans everywhere. 2 front SP fans, 2 side AF fans, the rad is an intake with stock Swiftech Helix fans. I only have my rear fan exhaust and my PSU exhaust. My GPU does not go higher than 65*C no matter how far it is overlocked. So i can use 2 120mm rads for rear and bottom.

I did the cross thing with the Thermal compound. I will re-apply it. See if that works.

Or maybe, is the pins? I have my pump, on red, and 2 fans on blacks on the fan splitter they provided with the cooler, and that is plugged in the cpu fan pins on the MB.

Pump speed doesn't do much for CPU temp above a certain level. For only one rad and a CPU block. Anything above 2,000rpm for the pump doesn't provide improvement(I think) but making noise. I'd rather plug one of the fan to the red-location and manage your fan speed through Asus BIOS. The stock fan has a max speed of 1,800rpm. Set the fan speed to 1,200-1,300rpm max under load, if you prefer a quiet rig. The pump will have provide sufficient flow. See if this makes the CPU temp cooler than your old set up.
