5960X watercooled temps

Hi, guys

 

So I have just finished building my desk mod PC still a few bits to do here and there but pretty much built and useable but I wanted to check CPU temp were good I am running dual 360mm rads for the cpu and a separate loop for the gpu's using dual 360mm rads my CPU at idle is currently 36C on hottest core the rest are 30-32C at 100% load I was topping out at 58C on the hottest core are these reasonable temps for the 5960X and lastly motherboard is running at 40C Idle and 54C 100% load

 

Cheers guys

Is it overclocked? If so, those are some great temps

No Idle, which is why I am a bit disappointed with the temps I was hoping for these temps when overclocked.

I hope this is a fair comparison - I have a 5820K clocked at 4.5GHz similar performance to a 5960X at stock according to CPU-Z. It's pulling about 140W which is also similar. I have dual 420mm rads and my system idles at 30 (package) on the dot (with ambient being about 24). So I'd say thats about right, friggin amazing system you have there btw!

 

Might be an idea to get a temp probe behind the glass?

Impossible? Yeah, like that's a word...

Thanks, What temp does your motherboard get to like is 54C safe limits when at 100% load?

That idle temp is really high, load temps seem alright though.

 

 

With a custom loop your idle temps should be extremely close to your ambient temperature.

I have the Asus R5E mobo with waterblocks so I can't say exactly. 54 doesn't sound too high, given that your VRM section should be 80-90 under load

Just set my overclock to 4.0ghz and been running torture test for 20mins and the temps are at 63C. Does anyone know if the red debug number thing on the motherboard is displaying motherboard temps or processor temps I always thought it was motherboard temps.

Well something weird is going on my CPU jumped up to 82C at 4ghz for about 5 minutes and now it has settled down at 68-69C I think this is a safe temp and i'm happy with 4ghz. I was wanting to stay bellow 75C and I don't think I would if I overclocked any further.

 

Edit: Might still be a bit of air in the loop, that would cause temp spikes right? I might also reseat the block with fresh thermal paste. Anyone used liquid metal thermal pads? And motherboard is at 38C not 50 I was reading the wrong one lol

Red debug is status codes, not temps!

Also where are you reading cpu temp from?

Real Temp GT and the Debug thing was matching my CPU temps that's why I thought it was showing temps lol :P  I will ignore that then.

The spike sounds like air, how noisy is the pump? And mine runs at 64C full load which makes 69C for the 360mm rads sound about right too. I used thermalgrizzly paste

Hahah what a coincidence! Ive only ever found the debug numbers helped when i had a failed RAM overclock and i looked up the code in the motherboard manual

Edit:

Try finding an msi xpower utility for temps? Or intel's extreme tweaking utility, i found intels program accurate compared to my OC panel

When the temp spikes I heard some air moving through the loop so it was more than likely air, not easy to get it out of deskbuilds sort of just got to wait till it releases. I do turn the pumps up and down to try dislodge some of the air I am running d5's on setting 1 so praps I should put them up to 2

Go nuts, turn the speed setting up and down rapidly, connect the pump to an external psu and turn it off an on repeatedly, then leave the pump on high for a couple hours before turning it down to save noise

I had a MSI mobo, but was Z97. The Q-code LEDS will show CPU temp after booting in to Windows.

Oh right so those are the CPU temps, Glad I'm not going mad lol CPU is idling at 32C now and Motherboard is at 38C . I'm going to reseat the block tomorrow and put some fresh artic cooling MX4 paste on the EK stuff might be the problem or I didn't put enough on I put what I would normally use on something like at 3770k lol

My mistake! Nice feature, not on the asis boards

Cinebench test went ok results seem pretty good.post-179175-0-41292800-1442877099_thumb.

I'm also using ASUS board now, also a 5820K.

All I need to complete my rig is a new monitor but at the moment it's a bit hard to trust Asus or Acer as brands because of their QC problems the only thing Asus seen to be able to do these days is make motherboards :D

Motherboards are like pickles. Whether you get a bad one is very much down to luck, doesn't matter Asus, MSI or Gigabyte...I think they're all made by Foxconn. I had a Gigabyte board DOA, a MSI board with bad PCIe socket. Now the Asus board is a workstation board. Hopefully more reliable.

 

I'd love to see you push your CPU further when you have time. Your temp is a little high, consider the massive cooling you have. I'm sure after some fine tuning, you'd see much better temp. I have a small case and can only run two 240 rads. I get mid 60's *C at 4.5Ghz.
