Hi All.
Put a new PC together with a custom loop a few months ago now and been playing along happily.. posted in a thread about GPU overclocks yesterday and someone mention my GPU temps seem really high for being under water.. So now I am thinking something is not right with my set-up.
Original Build thread is here
So I have the following
EK 360 RAD
EK Waterblock
EK D5 pump / res combo
MSI Seahawk with EK full block
Now temp wise on the GPU in overwatch and battlefront I am seeing 65-72 degrees with ultra settings running G-sync @144hz
First thing I thought maybe pump is not working.. although i could not see the fluid moving around the tubes I felt the bottom of the pump and its vibrating so guessing means its working.
Second thing i though maybe the rad fans are not ramping up.. they are controlled by PWM from the CPU mobo header and are based around CPU load.. CPU temps seem fine and max out around 50 degrees so maybe as load is not high the fans are not having to kick in (fans cant tell if GPU is getting hot) so what i did was change the fans over to fixed rpm of 1500 and played overwatch again.. temps came down about 5 degrees but still high..
So what next??? i just purchased a Thermaltake P5 case so am going to drain the loop and fit the PC into that but if the problem lies somewhere else what can i try??
Looking to anyone for suggestions / help
