pump speed 4326rpm, is that high? looks high, i think my H70 is 1440

I'm not sure if its high or not lol

I've noticed that sometimes with my H50 that it can be kinda picky on how its mounted (Ive used it in a few builds)

Remount it, and I'm positive your problem will go away.

Thanks i've got everything crossed.

ok switching off for now then, my tim clean is at work, will pick it up and do this as soon as i get home from work tomorrow then. Thanks for all your help. Will update as soon as i have reseated. One last question as i'm doubting all my knowledge at the minute..

line of thermal compound down the middle and let heatsink spread it out?

Pea sized drop in the middle and let the cooler spread it.

The line method can get too much on the sides and ooze out over the edge of the IHS on the cpu.

That's pretty crazy. When I installed my H60 and ran prime95, I only hit 54C after about 2.5 hours, and that was overclocked. Is your fan even plugged into the mobo?

Yeah it definitely is!!! and the pump as other people asked.

Question for you, is the corsair logo facing out on your radiator or facing in?

hmmm, it's blowing air out the back of case at min, will turn that round as well tomorrow. Didn't do a very good job here did I? lol

2DividedbyZero · May 4, 2011

@manofthem, can you look in your BIOS and see what your H60 pump speed is please.

@freebie, is better to have the fan blowing cold air from outside, into the rad, but whichever way you mount the fan and rad, have the fan blowing INTO the rad for best results.

manofthem · May 4, 2011

Looking from the back of my case, the logo is not visible on the fan. The dan is blowing into the case. This is the direction of the fins on the fan: (--->. Make sense?

That is really not the issue here , Minor at best . You can always put a second fan on it and that would fix it for sure . But I have found that no matter what way the fan was put on my rads it mad little to no difference at all , You do not want the fan to blow into the case as that will blow heated air inside and onto your hardware . Just keep the fan blowing out maybe put the fan on so it blows out over the fins . At any rate you need to get the wb refitted and let us know what is going on after you have done this .

Just used SpeedFan to get fan speed readings, and this is showing two speeds, 4383 and 1386 which is much closer to you're 1440.

But don't you want the cool air blowing over the radiator so the heat can escape? I have my fan blowing in, bringing cooler air in, and then 2 exhaust fans on the top of my case which "should" kick out the hot air... I figured that would be better than having hot air blowing through the radiator, which would happen if the fan was blowing from inside out.

or does what I'm thinking not really matter?

BEST RESULTS would be outside to inside, but I have my setup blowing case air over rad going outside. the temps are still good.

@freebie, strange result there showing 2 speeds for your pump, lets hope manofthem comes back with his pump speed to clear your mind.

Will check pump speeds hang on...

See my fans on my RAD's ? they all blow Away from the case this is the best way to have your fans set up IMHO . Blowing that air into the case is just adding heat were heat is not needed JMHO is all .

2DividedbyZero · May 4, 2011

that set up may work, but it sure is ugly

manofthem · May 4, 2011

Speeds from bios

Looks like pump is under Power Fan Speed. Rad fan is CPU fan
