Cooling Issues

[Wobulali]

I purchased a pre-built PC from cyberpowerpc and it has cooling problems. While gaming both my cpu and gpu hit around 80-100 degress celcius. The PC has a Asetek 550LC connected to rear fan and a fan in the front. I have never used liquid cooling before but it doesn't seem to be effective. I am not sure what to do. 

 

Just hopped on a game played for 10 minutes and this... http://imgur.com/mbKXHYd

 

fan hit almost 3000 rpm and temp hit 82. that was after being off for 2 hours so everything was room temp. It would have kept going up had i not stopped the game.

Get two fans and do a push/pull configuration on the radiator search it up on YouTube

82 should be fine... it looks like 83 is the thermal throttle limit for the 1060

I forgot to mention this in my original comment. I have had my computer stutter, freeze, and shut off randomly multiple times. not sure if this is heat related but i thought it might be.

1060 aside, your cpu should be no where near 80.  Was this purchased from a retailer or direct from cyberpowerpc?

direct from cyberpowerpc.

I would be contacting them ASAP and talking with them about RMA and getting a new pc or at least having that one fixed.  Sounds like the heat sink was not properly set.

Ok im gonna go do that thanks for the extra opinions

Ok and update on my cooling. I moved the radiator to the top of the case because the radiator was close to the gpu it was making it harder to cool it down. I also changed configuration having the fan push air through rather than pull. I am not sure how much this helped. ran a stress test with all cores 100% and maxed out at 69 degrees Celsius on cpu. Just purchased a fan on amazon to replace the rear fan that i moved. hoping that will help it even more.

I hope this helps anyone else who bought a computer from them. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Something is still not right for liquid cooling.  I have a ryzen 1600 running at 3.7 with stock air cooling temp maxes out at 70 degrees under stress test.

Well i am currently missing my rear fan because i moved it to top. I am getting a new fan tomorrow. it might be because my pc's airflow is messed up so inside of case is just getting too hot. So we will see. If it doesn't improve ill re do thermal paste and maybe buy different cooler. I rather try to fix it myself because they are so slow and i dont want to wait a month just to use my pc. i'll keep the posted updated.
