i7 7700k Temps

[tronder]

Hey guys, just wondering under load e.g. cinebench is a watercooled with EK waterblock supposed to be hitting 72 degrees non overclocked?.... seems rather high i7 7700k

[Mr.Meerkat]

Yeah, that is quite high...

What's your loop set up?

[tronder]

Well loop goes Res=>Pump=>gtx 1080=>2x120rad=>CPU=>triple Rad=> Res
1080 at 70%load is at 46 degrees consistent so not sure if its loop or not?...

1080 is idling at about 40 degrees its about 26 in the house probs more in the case itself

On AI suite, motherboard is 42 and PCH is like 52 if that helps

All radiators are intakes because its a corsair 570x... and those are the only filtered sides

Anyway, so you have enough rad space, the 1080 runs at decent temps ect. ect. 

Maybe the CPU block is badly mounted?

ah thanks for that, ummm dont think so i applied enough thermal paste and it was tightened down in a diagonal pattern
Ive also got it going through the correct in and out ports plus had it running for like a week now so no air should be still trapped in it

what descent temp should i be looking at?\

now since ive stopped gaming its idling about 35-37 degrees with motherboard 39, PCH 46 and 1080 at 34

Hmmmm...since your 1080 is cooled fine, it may potentially be your pump not being powerful enough for your loop although I doubt it. 

What is the liquid like when it's going into the reservoir?

Like temp sensor wise?

well ive got it in a parallel sorta config so it doesnt exactly go into the top of the res, its an EK 140 d5 combo pump res
i can get a thermometer and measure the liquid in the res but i doubt its gonna give an accurate reading unless im wrong about how the combo pump res works?

But like its legitamitly hotter inside the case than outside

So it's a d5 pump which "should" be powerful enough. 

Not air bubbles, pump, badly mounted CPU block ect. hmmmmm...

Do you know the voltages the CPU is running at underload? Maybe your motherboard is supplying too much voltage...

[Glennieboyyy007]

the new mobo's like to set the voltage a bit to high. maybe it is the cause of the high temps.

Well no bubbles since last week, dont think i mounted it badly. if it last resort ill remount it but its all hardline so im pretty hesitant atm if you know what i mean
just ran Cinebench and if its the core VID your looking for max underload 1.25V at stock speeds

Hmmm 1.25 underload seems reasonable to me? i had it overclocked before at 5ghz at about 1.34 or 1.36 volts but havent been bothered to load that into the bios again yet haha

1.25v is perfectly reasonable for stock clocks  

 

What are your idling temps? Maybe you just have a really hot running 7700k

Well iding at about 36 with intermediate spikes on real temp to like 44 or 56 then goes back to 34

Just ran cinebench again, probs got up to around 60-65 average 62-63 underload?

If it's spiking to 44/56C when idle, something isn't correct but I'm not sure

Remount your water block I would say with temps as high as that your block is not sitting square to the faces.

well its like spiking like on one core for like a second on temp sensor for real temp like once every 5-10 seconds

Yeah thinking about doing that tomorrow, pain in the ass to drain the loop though...

Well if it's not a hardline loop, there may be enough slack so you don't need to drain the loop?

Its hardline .... ROFL, just my luck to go with hardline for first loop

Ah, good luck with draining then  

 

When you're looking at the block, does it look like it's flush against the CPU? It doesn't have to be "properly" mounted...just "well" mounted where the block is making good contact with the headspreader...

It does look flush and its one of the EK turn the screw till it doesnt any more with spring load mounting plates
and i guess it doesnt help that EK says you have to have a rubber gasket insulating your backplate?

That's to prevent short circuiting happening with the metal backplate touching the motherboard...

 

Is the gasket installed? If not then it's possible that due to it missing, it's not actually allowed the block to be tightly touching the CPU.

Yeah I understand that and it is installed as per the instructions etc 

I'll try draining it tomorrow after work and I'll keep you guys up to date

Managed to drain my loop with much pain and put new thermal paste etc

 

Idle temps are around 32-35

cinebench around 64 degrees but thats with motherboard at 38 and PCH at 44 so 8 degrees lower than i tested last time all around?
Not sure if it could be the cooler itself or if its normal

 

Tested after gaming PCH at 48 = cinebench 62-67

 

What do you think should be a normal idle and load temp?

What's your ambient temperature? Still seems super high for water cooling. My temps are cooler on air...

 

My guess is that there are too many rads and not enough pumps. Try taking one rad out of the loop and see what happens.
