Hi. I have recently had a custom loop fitted with my new i7 6700k running at 4.2hz turbo. I use hwmonitor to check my temps and while playing pub on low settings 1080p the cpu temps can reach 83c at less than 60% utilisation.
Before the blocks were installed both the ek waterblock for gpu and cpu where thoroughly cleaned and flushed with de-ionised water. GPU doesn't go above 50c on full load yet my cpu runs extremely hot.
The ambient temps as it's summer is around 30 to 35c. I never noticed the temps high when I first had it installed 3 months ago but surely the cha he in ambient temp shouldn't make that much difference. GPU remains the same but slightly higher idle temps.
I've tested with prime95 and the temps almost reach 95c only after 5 minutes. My custom loop consists of 280 thick rad and 240 normal. Picture as follows.
