High CPU & GPU Temps with my Node 202

[itsjustrafael]

First off, this is my setup:

Case: Fractal Design Node 202

Motherboard: ASUS Z170i Pro Gaming
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 Nano

CPU: i7-6700K

Storage: 256GB Samsung 950 Pro

PSU: Chieftec SFX 500W
CPU Cooler: Corsair H55 Hydro Series
Fans: 2x be quiet! SilentWings 3 PWM (1x under the Graphics Card / 1x as a replacement for the Corsair H55 fan)

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
 

While playing games like WoW or others I'll reach easily max temps between 85-91 °C (195° F) and for my graphics card temps up to 77° C...

It's quite toasty & while I understand in some way the temps of the graphics card, I can't understand why I reach that high temps though having a AIO Water Cooling installed?

By the way I noticed in my BIOS that Core Voltage is set to 1.328V by the mainboard (isn't that too high for a non OC'd CPU?)

I'm not planning to Overclock either the CPU or the GPU, rather have the stable performance of a cool system in a SFF PC....

Do you have any suggestions of what I could do to fix those temps? Is turning around the sides the fans are blowing going to help?

The fan mounted on the radiator is installed to blow the heat of the radiatior out of the case, while the fan underneath the Graphics Card is installed to blow air against the Card. Does it make sense?

Where's the max temperature from? Aside from that, 77C is normal for a GPU under load.

Those temps are normal, perhaps a little higher than average but not by much. I strongly recommend that you do not use single RAD AIO coolers, they perform just as well as air coolers for way more money. Upgrade your cooler to a dual rad aio, like the corsair h100i gtx. You may want to clear CMOS as well though, as I think 6700ks should only run at 1.2V. What is your power mode right now?

You can't fit a dual fan rad in a node 202. As well, he can only fit the h55 because he has an R9 nano. BitWit (Awesomesauce network) did a video on fitting an AIO in the case, it only fits cause you use a super short GPU.

 

and to OP, I'd suggest cutting voltage just a tad, make sure you're not getting automatic overclocks from the ASUS board, they have tech that automatically OC's and keeps it up high as long as you're like sub 90 degrees or something. The nano is fine around 77, so it's definitely something wrong with the CPU clocks or voltages (unless your AIO is broken in some way)

It's how he said - it's only fitting because of this combination. 

I ran the same Benchmark as he did and achieved higher temps: I don't really think the there's a problem the the AIO being broken.

What's a good stable voltage for the 6700K when I'm not going to OC? Gotta have to grab a wired keyboard from somewhere cause my Logitech K810 doesn't react while booting...

High CPU & GPU Temps with my Node 202

 

Wait how can a case have high temps?

 

77 degree is fine under load for a graphics card. For cpu you might not applied enough thermal paste or something is wrong with cooler

I've been turning around the directions of my both fans:

Now the AIO cooler fan pushes the heat of the radiator out of the case
And the fan under the graphics card pushes air from outside against the card

However the temps don't look to satisfying... Kyle from BitWit achieved with the same setup under 70° C... Now what I've been trying to do is to change the voltage (currently 1.328V) down to 1.25V... but once I boot into Windows 10 again HWMonitor shows me Voltages up to 1.41V... but why?
