Am I doing something wrong here?

[MadyTehWolfie]

So I bought the evga CLC 120 and 280. Both of them had temps in the high 60-70's I change back to my Corsair H110i gtx and in the same situations (sitting in the menu and same scene in the game) doesnt go above mid 50's. Same fans and RPM and same thermal paste and application of said thermal paste. Not to mention the pumps on bother were way louder going at 2500+ rpm with the corsair one only going 1800rpm

I like corsair aios. My 280mm is better than thermaltake a 360mm lol

that sounds more like an EVGA problem than a you problem.

sounds REALLY strange

Whats strange is I ramp the fans to 1000rpm still high temps yet my corsair aio i have fans at 400 and I get the temps stated above. I dont OC my CPU either just keep it at stock clocks.

yup

weeeird.

 

either the EVGA has a thicker rad, and isn't getting enough static pressure, or has a bad pump? 

 

did you say it did the same thing on the 120 AND the 280?

 

also, out of curiousity, why did you get those two if you already has the H110i?

Yes and the H110i is a little over a year old and the sleeved tube is starting to slip a little

so replacing it before you HAVE to replace it?

 

Is there a warranty on any of the three items?

Well I can just return the 280 evga cooler to amazon. Thought the aio's were only good for a year...fail on my part thats what I was really doing wrong

well if the Corsair has a warranty still they might replace it for you

 

same goes for the EVGA ones, if they're not working as intended then they should be replaced

I just don't understand how a 280 rad can get those temps. With silent wings 3 pwm fans. Spinning at about 600rpm for the 280 and 900 for the 120 and to still get temps in the low to high 70's with CPU usage at only 25-30%.

Yeah, that makes no sense at all! 

 

I'm just using a plain old hyper 212 evo with it's stock fan (the case is stocked full with noctuas though) and I run lower than the 70s in everything but FULL load.

I'd say have a talk with customer service, see what they have to say.
