Aio Push Pull worse temps?

[deathblade666]

Hi so i just spent the last say hour taking my 200mm fans off and installing 2 120mm fans to have push pull on my corsair h100i v2 and now my temps are crazy high.. beofre i was getting 55c under load max and around 24c idle, now im getting 50c idle with random spikes up to 74c (when doing simple things like typing this forums post, i only changed the fans, any ideas as to what is going on, system specs below:

 

CPU 17 6700k (stock)

Ram EVGA DDR4 3000

gpu gtx 1060

clc corsair h100i v2 (currently in push pull with 4 120mm fans)

ssd ocz 480GB

hdd 4tb seagate

mobo Asrock z170 Exetreme 4

Can you show us a photo of the fans setup in push pull, also are they all facing the correct direction for airflow? 

[deathblade666]

They are facing the correct way , here are are 4 pics, showing the setup and my entire rig, please note my cable management needs work and this isn't the best case for it either. Side note if you have any suggestions on improving my cable management please feel free to send your advice.

Yeah that looks good, check to see if the pump connection or something got knocked loose when you were installing the fans, it shouldn't be worst than the temps you got previously.

Ok so I just checked something, for some reason the fans on the bottom of the rad are not turning... Do I NEED to have the aio fan cable in a cpu fan header?

Wait then what are the fans plugged into currently

The cable from the AIO must be installed, ideally in the CPU header since that is what powers the pump and the fans. 

[deathblade666]

Those two are plugged into the aio splitter, and the aio cable is plugged into chasis fan 3 header, I figured since it's just for power it wouldn't matter, I also set it up in bios so that that header monitors the CPU temps instead of Mobo temps

[deathblade666]

Ok so I just found my main issue, to try and have the cables tidier I added an extension that allowed me to route the cable around the CPU block/pump and plug it into the chasis 3 fan header, I understand routed the cable and took out the extension and now my temps are back to normal.. didn't realise the extension would add restistance to it.

An extension shouldn't add extra resistance unless it's a low noise adapter with a resistor or is damaged for some reason.

yeah idk It was working fine (it was attached to one of my 200mm fans i replaced) and i just removed it from being attached to the aio, and now my temps are back down to right ~27c (estimation of f conversion, i dont have a celcius temp monitor running at the monment)

I'd toss out that extension then sounds like it's faulty for one reason or another. 

[deathblade666]

ok will do, dont have a need for it any more anyway

[deathblade666]

thank you for your help, im still fairly new to water cooling, but i've done alot of research but this was just one of those things i feel, that there just isn't really knowing before hand
