Hi there!
I've been experiencing some potential issues which I thought i'd get an opinion on.. this is related to my Dark Base Pro 900 Water Cooling Build.
I didn't want to clog up my build log with this issue and any replies to it so I decided to start a new thread to keep the main build log clean. (I've also linked to this thread from my build log post.)
My issue:
After a few hours of heated gaming, mostly Battlefield 1 and Dragon Age Inquisition.. I notice my temperatures reaching uncomfortably high numbers:
CPU Temp: 78-80c
GPU1 Temp: 58-60c
GPU2 Temp: 58-60c
Water Temp: 48-50c
The Water Temp alone is too high for my liking, and with the amount of radiator heat dissipation I've got running in my build I would never expect to see these numbers get so high... ever!
I have also experienced a couple of hard crashes, audio locking up with a loud brrr sound and screen frozen. - this usually happens when my CPU temp hits 80c.
I've been gradually lowering my CPU voltages, keeping my fingers crossed that my overclock stays stable in order to try and lower the CPU heat dissipation due to the high voltage (I frequently see 1.42 volts under heavy gaming load).
But my question is, why is it heating up so much? I can feel the heat pouring out the back of my case like it's turned itself into it's own central heating unit for my room.
This sounds like a silly question, but do i have enough radiator space for my setup? 1x 420 rad + 1x 280 rad = 1x i7-6700K @ 4.7ghz + 2x GTX 1080 @ 2100mhz
I also have no idea about what my flow rate of my liquid is as I haven't installed a flow meter yet, but assuming there are no blockages, this shouldn't matter a whole lot surely? (the pump's always at 100%)
And there's the ambient temperature factor of course, I -have- noticed that when this happens i've been feeling relatively warm in my room, I attributed this to the large amount of heat coming out the back of my PC but it's entirely possible that my ambient room temp might have crept up towards the 30c mark - but surely an ambient 30c wouldn't warrant a 20c delta upping my water to 50c?
So yeah, enough rambling. - what do you think? what do you suggest I should look at or test? - I am going to get myself a room thermometer so I can check the room/ambient temp going into my case the next time this happens.
