I installed the water cooler fine but my 5960X seems to idle at 50c least 45c when I turn pump and fans to extreme using Corsair utility software so when I launch a game in full load the cpu sometimes reaches 70c to 80c and crashes anybody know why this is happening ? Case is NZXT H630

I went the fred flintstone route to OCing - Asus has a "F-Stream" app for OCing automatically and i stopped at 4.3

a) you might try dropping the OC to 4.3 to see if you get similiar temps to mine - if you do, then it's the OCing
b) higher voltage will also add heat or raise temps, you might try dropping Vcore voltage 1/10th volt at a time and running Prime95 v26.6 - when you hit the voltage where it crashes, then bump voltage back up a couple of tenths, and see what that does to temps.

what i said earlier about a "big drop" of thermal paste, you can put too much - try a couple of small grains of rice size drops, clamp it down, then remove to see what kind of coverage you got - if you got decent coverage, clean the TIM off and re-apply...

Did you change the fans on the cooler? Also, are you using thermal paste, or enough of it? Did you remove the plastic cover on the CPU block before installing? Is the cooler installed correctly or tight enough?

I changed the stock fans from the cooler to Corsair ML's yes...I applied thermal paste one big drop in the middle...yes I removed the plastic cover of the cpu a long time ago....this was just a aio upgrade cooler seems like it's installed correctly and tight enough ..but yea I'm going to recheck tonight after work might be something loose

Ok, I presume you used static pressure optimized fans on the rad, if not that's your issue. Also, are you sure your pump is working? That sounds like your pumps dead.

Corsair utility software shows that my pump is working at 1,000 something rpm's I touched the tube and felt water running through it fast also noticed my temperature dropping as soon as I hit extreme on all my fans and pump as for the ML fans let me see if there static pressured fans or not I'm pretty sure they are .

What CPU thermal paste are you using? The 5960x is a fairly hot CPU. Also, is it overclocked? You may want to try and tweak the voltages in the BIOS if you can get it to run at a lower voltage temps will drop.

if it helps, my 5960x, OC'd to 4.3, runs 36-40C at idle, and 66-74C when rendering video files (cpu is showing 97-98% load. I run a Noctua D15S air cooler with the stock Noctua thermal paste (iirc it's their NH-1)

Have you tried re-applying the thermal paste? I don't know what a "big drop" amounts to, i use 2 small rice grains of rice applications

That's what I'm trying to get with my AIO is 40 idle to 45c then in video load 60c 70c no more I'll make some adjustments later on tho ...my 5960 X is @ 4.5ghz
Core Voltage @ 1.3
Cache Voltage @ 1.3
SA Voltage @ 1.2
Ram Voltage @ 1.3
Never had my computer crash like this when I overclocked my old Titan X Pascal's B4 this is new to me I also have my old h100i cpu water cooler aside which never gave me any heating issues so I have that as a back up plan if all else fails

here's a link to a screen capture of my voltages & temps with computer at idle (don't know why i can't get imgur images to load automatically

glad it worked for you

you might still be able to hit a stable 4.5 OC with acceptable temps, if you spend a bit of time tweaking - like i said, i used the "fred flintstone" approach, using the Asus OC app - when i did try the 4.5 OC setting, i spent maybe 1.5 hours tweaking and couldn't get it stable, but i'm not electronically literate enough so threw the towel and stayed with 4.3, walking the voltage down like i described above
