Will delid affect GPU temps?

[TomR]

I have a 7700k cooled by an AIO that is setup to pull cool air from outside, thru the AIO radiator, and exhausts the back of the case. My CPU hits about 70C and my GPU 80C while gaming. I'm wondering if I delid the CPU will it make any noticeable decrease in my GPU temps?

[iRileyx]

No.

 

What makes you think it would?

[Billy_Mays]

Uhh not it's two intire different things

Delidding your CPU will only lower its temps, not other parts.

The CPU radiator is exhausting warm air into the case (which is then blown around by the GPU). If the CPU temperature is decreased then the air exhausting into the case should be cooler. I'm just wondering if it's a difference that I'd notice.

Technically it could increase temps in some cases, as if the CPU runs cooler, the case fans won't work as hard to exhaust... you guessed it. GPU air.

If you want to reduce the temps just have your fans blowing the hot air out of the case instead of into it. That would reduce the temps a lot more than delidding your cpu.

I keep my fans set on an aggressive preset.

thats true but cant he then just use something like speedfan to change the fan speed according to the gpu

No, try to think of it this way: regardless of the cooler, your CPU is still using (and therefore releasing as heat) the same amount of energy. So it'll still be putting out the same heat. Actually, it'd probably be the opposite effect that you think, since the delid makes the heat transfer more efficient. Meaning more thermal energy is going to the cooler (and therefore the air), and less stays in the CPU making it heat up. Which means the air would be warmer.

you're pulling air from outside, through your rad and into your case and wondering why your gpu is hot?

you'd do a lot better blowing the hot air outside.

that by itself will probably drop 10 degrees. delidding isnt worth it when your setup is completely backwards

The opposite would result in too high of CPU temps. According to most of the community I have the proper setup.

What GPU do you have? 

 

If you can, try mounting the radiator at the top of the case.

You'd probably make it hotter, I know my water temps went up a few degrees after delidding my i7 7700K, get more fans or run them higher, or get custom water cooling if the temps are that bad.

Thank you. This single comment provided me with more information to my question than the entire rest of the comments in this thread lol

That depends, are these the only fans in your entire system besides the gpu?

EKBW now have something called their "Fluid Gaming" kit, it's made from Aluminium, and once you use just the parts included will be OK, and will cool the GPU and CPU you have very well, it's 239 USD and well worth it if you don't want to spend almost double that on a full custom copper loop. A couple other people also commented something similar but they didn't spell it out as clear I think.

thats the most rediculous thing ive ever heard.

you're literally blowing hot air into your case. you want to exhaust the hot air OUT of the case, not into it.

 

if you use a normal setup, it exhausts the hot air into the room, slowly raising the ambient temperture of the room. which will decrease cooling performance over time.

however, if you exhaust the hot air outside, then it wont increase ambient temps, and it will continue cooling with good temps.

but pulling air from outside and blowing it into your case, especially if its warm outside is just dumb.

itll not only increase ambient temps of the room, but increase heat in your case, raising the temps of your gpu, ram, and motherboard causes decreased performance across the board.

Is it a Founders card? EVGA? ASUS? Gigabyte?

ok please post a pic of your computer, Fans on flat out and Temps that high just doesn't make sense.

If you read my post I clearly said I have cool air being drawn in from outside the case, and warm exhausting out the back of the case.

its cuz hes pulling hot air from outside and blowing it into his system....

Did you seriously think I meant "outside" -as in from outside the house?...
