Hi! a few weeks ago I just finished to put together my first water cooling loop but my sorprise was that my CPU is not decreasing tempetures, in fact Im getting higher temps than with my Seidon 240, this is my system specs:
CPU: i7 3770k @ 4426.75 Mhz, default voltage
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH
Boot drive: Samsung 840 EVO 250
GPU´s: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edt x2 (CrossFire)
GPU Clock: 1100 Mhz Overclock: 1200 Mhz
Memory: 1200 Mhz Overclock: 1365 Mhz
I think that should be the important components Im also water cooling my graphic cards and they have been cooling properly, they´re at 35°C iddle and no more than 50°C with this overclocking while gaming or even at full stress tests, my CPU without overclocking is about 35°C and like 65°C at full load, with the overclock iddle is about 60°C and full stress is getting to what I think is the limit for this CPU at 80°C, my ambient tempeture is about 28°-30°, and my liquid at like 40° while gaming, Im mesureing them with some tempeture sensors, for the water cool loop Im using this components:
CPU Block: Koolance CPU-380i
GPU Blocks: EK-FC7870 - Acetal + Nickel
Rads: Koolance HX-CU1020V (360), EK-CoolStream RAD XT (240) and EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (120)
Pump: Swiftech MCP655 at full speed.
Fittings: EK-CSQ Fitting 10/16mm G1/4
Hose: XSPC High Flex 3/8 ID, 5/8 OD
Reservoir: Phobya Balancer 150
I have tried to put the block in different orientations but non have work for me, I´ve tried to push tight the block into the CPU, put the block not that tight, a bit of termal paste, a little more, and nothing have work, Im using the Prolimatech PK-1, I remember I read in a review that the this processor run more hot than any other CPU with this block, but not that much, hopw someone can orientate me so I can fix this, thanks!
