Quick question about AIO

So, I finally decided to try and customize the fan curve on my h115i. As a result, the bloody thing is finally very silent, and after playing BF1, which is a CPU intensive game, for a bit more than one hour, the temperatures on the processor stayed at about 65C with a maximum of 70C. The radiator is mounted on the top and I'm not running a blower fan graphics card, so that is making it run a bit hotter (see Kyle's video if you don't know what I'm talking about). But as a result of turning the fans down considerably, the radiator temperature rose to 41C max. Is that a problem? If it is, what temperature would be ideal for this AIO? Thanks

Your core temps will almost always be higher than the loop itself. Otherwise the cores would be cooling off the loop.

That...doesn't really answer what I asked. And yeah, it would be a concern if it was at 70C or so...but what I want to know is if it's problematic to have the radiator/liquid running at ~41C, if it damages the AIO or the tubes.

not at all.

i run my fans at minimal speed all the time and it's not an issue at all the temps are almost the same as running the fans fast...for me anyways...also pump on low speed.

As long as you don't get close to the triple point of water, you're fine. The tubes [and radiators] are meant to handle more than they would realistically experience.

Ok, thank you both! I will try to stop being paranoid now lol.

For super-comfort in product temps for those who are overly paranoid:

 

In the summer months down in southern US, shipping containers for consumer merchandise can easily reach 50-60C while sitting out in the lot waiting to be unloaded into the warehouse. Any temps under that I would think should be completely 100% fine
