Holy shart man, look at those temps. You had someone build this thing? Whomever is not qualified to imo cuz they know jack about this, no offense. Those temps are criminal!
Yeah the computer shop who put it together said they had extensive knowledge and experience building workstation PCs for VFX artists, Rendering etc. I'm beginning to think they lied. I went to about 12 different shops explaining what I needed and most were just experienced with gaming PCs and weren't comfortable in building one for 3D animation.
I went a little pyscho at the owner yesterday and I'm going to go into the shop with all the info I'm picking up from this thread. I tried my best to do some research but I'm also stretched for time, I work 100 hour weeks, so I thought my best interest was getting people who actually knew to build it (so I thought) what they were doing this way I didn't fuck anything up myself and waste time trying to figure out what went wrong.
he doesn't have the active backplate which is NOT Helping also 4 3090s what looks like a 280 or maby a 360mm trying to cool it
and a thin 240mm for the cpu? also using corsair stuff which is MEH in my book
i am sorry man but you need to step back here and re-think this you need way more cooling and more power
you have near 1700W of heat being pumped into the gpu loop that is almost enough to boil the water
There is a Corsair radiator XR5 420mm and a Corsair Hydro X Series XR7 480mm in the build.
Are you guys able to give me a breakdown list of what you would do to update this build?
AKA add some active backplates, extra 420mm radiators (happy to remove all the fans), an extra PSU if the loop is taking away 500w etc
This way I can just go into the shop and be like 'listen up mofos...this is what needs to be done' haha (or I find someone more competent)
That has what to do with OP's build? The machine tested by Linus is again another silly review. They used that rig for minutes and it crashed in some benches too. And in some of the benches the rad became hot to the touch after 5 minutes. Now go and run that thing for 8 hours and then tell me how the cooling is. It's physics, you cannot pump 1700w sustained for hours with minimal cooling capacity and not end up with shit temps.
The temps I posted are hitting literally after 2minutes of rendering...scared to see what happens after 24hrs + (which is regular from my side btw). Longest render I did was 72hrs.
I was more concerned with the VRAM temps being >85c sustained for several hours affecting the longevity I don't care what micron says cold day in hell I let any component sustain that long term lol
id crame the biggest meanest rad you can up top and tie it all in as one loop get the backplates on and make sure the pumps and fans are screaming as fast as they will go
Do you have a recommendation for which software to manually adjust the pumps and fans? I use iCUE for the fans and have them all on Extreme settings.
I'm just trying to highlight to the OP that whomever he placed his trust in, doesn't know how to balance load vs cooling here and imo it's criminal. How much wasted time, money, and effort has the OP wasted due to his pro's lack of experience. I find it negligent...
Yeah, FML. As mentioned, I wish I had the time to do it myself but I work insane hours and just don't have the time unfortunately..so I did misplace my trust in someone. I'm happy to hear everyone rage, makes me feel better haha.
Just some more photos of the build so you can have a look and see if you spot anything badly done.
Update: My computer just turned off mid render just now. I assume thats because its not getting enough power from the PSU?
