not so good water cooling temps -i7 920

deadlyrhythm · Feb 28, 2010

Fans are at 75% and the pc is on idle.

40 deg for the CPU, NB & Mosfets?

Should my temps be better?

The only thing i cant think of is to much thermal compound perhaps?

here is a screen bellow

BraveSoul · Feb 28, 2010

got any pics of the setup?

Steevo · Feb 28, 2010

perhaps accurate system specs and some relevant information?

If you are trying to cool your CPU, chipsets, Mosfets with just a 120mm and a slow fan then yes you might have issues.

But again, more information, or pics!

Is it the same setup you have here:

No offense Deadly, you did a wonderful job but I would be a little concerned with the position of your vid res. Maybe I'm not seeing it right but it looks to me as it's system pressure transfering the coolant towards your pump and not gravity... IDK :confused:

PaulieG · Feb 28, 2010

Do NOT evaluate your temps at idle. Do a LinX or OCCT linpack run, and post a screenie during the run when the cpu is 100%. That's how we can tell if your temps are appropriate or not.

+1 to PaulieG, I heard that Intel's sensors are unreliable at low temps.

Sorry for the vagueness.

Ok so here's what i'm running:

THE CPU LOOP IS SEPARATE FROM THE GPU LOOP

PC parts

i7 920
evga classified x58 sli
gskill 1600 3x3gb ram

WC parts

EK full motherboard nickle WB
WaterCool HeatKiller 3.0 lt
black ice 360 rad
EK full spin bay res
mcp355 + ek clear accetal top
artic silver 5

deadlyrhythm · Feb 28, 2010

i hear, which is why it was so difficult to get the loop flowing, but i managed by sub-merging and tilting the case and res upside down.

those temps i believe are alright, 30-40's idle for the gpu

Looks good to me. I had a 120.3 just on my cpu and it idled upper 30s. I'm guessing your load temps reach mid to high 70's if not peaking just over 80 on maybe core 0.

Load test it and let see whats going on, if your way out of my speculation then I'll be surprised.

Exactly what I was saying. We can only evaluate with load temps.

I was just wondering because my single loop (pump->rad->cpu->gpu->res) is running at 26C at idle and 36-38 at full load while gaming

Solaris17 · Feb 28, 2010

O/T i was just inspired to say that is a crazy awesome wc loop GJ

deadlyrhythm · Feb 28, 2010

well here is the a cpu stress test pic. i was stressing the gpu at the same time using Fur Bench and for the cpu prime95.

max temp is around 55 deg Celsius for the CPU @ 100% load

max temp is around 44 deg Celsius for the GPU @ 100% load

JrRacinFan · Feb 28, 2010

Don't use Coretemp, try out realtemp. But even if using Coretemp they still aren't that bad at all.

deadlyrhythm · Feb 28, 2010

hmm, well my gpu is 4870x2 and hitting about 44 deg celsius @ 100% load which is being cooled by a danger den WB and tfx 240 rad with 2 enermax fans.

what kind of rad do you have cooling your whole loop?

Don't forget loosenut, you are also on a 955BE which they run a little bit cooler.

Loosenut · Feb 28, 2010

True.

Don't get me wrong everyone, I'm not trying to win a pissing contest here. I just wanted to point out my concern for the positioning of his GPU res.

I still think he did a phenominal job at putting all this together in such limited space and for that I applaud you Deadly :toast:

You mean 3X2GB right?

Just like everyone already said, get your load temps and then go from there

NVM, I saw that you already did. Not really bad temps IMHO.

PaulieG · Feb 28, 2010

I have my i7's at 4.0ghz, water cooled on an open bench (Sunbeam Ultra). Your temps are a little high, as mine are similar to yours despite a 4.0ghz OC and 1.27v. Try overclocking yours slightly, maybe around 3.6ghz and try for 1.24v or so, then run LinX. That will give us a better idea. My loop consists of:

EK Supreme HF
EK Coolstream 240 rad
655 Vario pump
Gentle Typhoon 1150 RPM's

I'm only cooling the CPU right now.

deadlyrhythm · Feb 28, 2010

will try that and repost. thanks!

Is everything at stock volts ?

whats in the loop with the cpu ?

what are your room temps ?

BraveSoul · Feb 28, 2010

so u have 5 120mm fans pushing air out + psu? or is the cpu radiator's 3 fans pulling air in?<--if not, then maybe try reversing them to pull air in instead of pushimg it out!

i got distilled water and room temp is like 20-22c

i got a a xchanger 360 on the top cooling the MB + CPU with 3x Panaflo fans

an xchanger 240 on the bottom cooling the GPU with 2x enermax fans

all fans a pushing air through the rad out of the case
