I7 5960x Temp problems

[Shadowman]

Ok I have tried everything there is to try  remounted my water block 7 times hell even tried a different water block I just can't get my cpu which is a i7 5960x temps low. I currently have a custom water cooling setup water cooling 2x Titan X's (there temps are fine) radiators are 2x 480 Alphacool & 1x 240 Alphacool it is a single loop with 2x pumps in series I currently have a 4.3GHz overclock with 1.22v and with room temp at 23c am hitting at 100% load 65c on 2 cores which seems very high for a water cooling setup like this. The only thing I can think of is there's a problem with the cpu itself I mean what are the chances of this?

Two questions based on my limited knowledge of liquid cooling: First, I've heard of 2011 specific water blocks, do you have one? Second, which gets cooled first, your GPU's or CPU?

How cool do you think it should be? An overclocked 8 core cpu will get very hot. My 5820k gets 80c+ under full load with a 240mm aio. But normal gaming it's in the 40s

65 looks good, remember you have 8 cores, and they do get hot, which effects the cores around it.

looks normal

what kind of load is it?

prime95

linpack

realbench

???

 

what block exactly are you using?

if it's from EKWB, then they have a 2011-v3 optimised mount plate, make sure you're using it

consult the manual, contact your block manufacturers support with the problem

Order doesn't matter in a loop. The water will equalize the temperature. And there are specific 2011-v3 blocks, they do make a difference, but it's only a few degrees or so. Jay from Jayztwocents replaced his not long ago.

 

60*C is fine for your CPU. My 5930K is at 4.4Ghz, 1.3v and under load it gets around 65*C with an H100i. TJmax is somewhere around 90* for the Haswell-e chips. I did see on the Intel website that the 'TCase temperature max, or 'the maximum temperature allowed at the processor Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS)' is 66.8. Since my 5930k has hit 70* during overclocking, I don't think that refers to the core temp (what most hardware monitors report) nor the TJmax.

Yes my block is a 2011-3 from EK,  My setup is:

 

Bay Res/2x pump combo in series TO 480 rad TO CPU TO 240 rad TO 480 rad TO 2x GPU's BACK TO Bay Res/2x Pump

Using Aida64 with CPU Stress,FPU Stress & cache Stress boxes ticked. Block is EK Supremacy Evo Copper Plexi about the mount plate i did not mount a plate since it said in the instructions no backplate was needed for a 2011-v3 since there is always a backplate on there.

65C is fine. When you say "on 2 cores" you mean the other 6 are off, or you're just reaching a max of 65C on 2 cores while the others are lower?

 

In any case, I'll hit 80-85C at 1.385v in that scenario. Custom loop (240+360+raystorm block).

^ This.

 

Also, do you mind taking a picture of your loop?

I have a little feeling something may be not set up right (i.e. cross flow).

Hi, will take a picture not home at the moment, but when you say (i.e. cross flow) what does this mean?

Cross-flow as the liquid is not flowing in one uniform direction -- like a single one-way path -- such as Y-connection / parallel connection to the graphics cards.

I will make a diagram (MS Paint skills).
