Ok, I have my 2700k stable @ x48 with 1.36v (offset). After a few mins of IBT my temps jump up to around 71. I can get 5GHz stable @ 1.43 but temps soar and peak at around 81. I know these babies run hot but i'm wondering if my temps are a little high?

This is under custom water.

Any thoughts guys?

Yeah it should be mate. 1.43 is more than I'd want to run 24/7, but on a short run I'm getting around 81 under full load. I'm pretty much stuck at 1.36v to stay within the comfort zone of around 70.

Got 3 rads EX360, EX240 and a EX120 for the cpu and 2 480's.
 
That's way to hot

I've just sold the same set up but with only a 360 and a 120

What temps you getting on the cards.

My cpu temps were 60' and gpu no more than 50 while gaming for hours.

I could even run it passive for 2 hours with the gpu not going over 68

think either your block needs re seating or the pump is just not cutting it. I had a d5
 
looking at that setup, yes it runs hot, but I think the problem is more to do with the voltage rather than the WC setup imo.
 
Ok, so I just removed my cpu block and watched a air bubble travel up the out tube.. I also replaced my MX4 with a dob of Noctua NT-H1. After a quick test my temps are much lower. 61c now vs 71c before. The bubble of air must have been the problem :o
 
Nothing to do with the volts

i had my chip at 4.8 @ 1.4 and got no were near that with a 240 rad less

the bubbles are probably in your rad now. Need to keep it running and tilt the computer on its sides

GPU temps are pretty good. They idle around 28c and seem to max out around 56-57c. It's a D5 I'm running myself.

Yeah :( I thought I did a pretty good job of removing all the bubbles when I set everything up. Rocked the case, left the lid off the reservoir and kept an eye on it. The water went down and the gargling stopped so I thought yay that's all the air out.. I have been running the loop for about a week now, starting to think I would have never of gotten that bubble out without removing the heat sink and doing what I just did.
 
Well you should be sorted now. Just give your case a tilt in all directions to get the last bit of air out. Can take a while with all the blocks and rads
 
Lol

I've heard air come out for mine weeks after.

Heard the noise thought omg what was that dived on the floor to check its not leaked and realised it was a few tiny bubbles ploping
 
I have had my water running about a week nearly and my fluid level has gradually gone down bit by bit each day.
We are talking a small amoutn here but noticeable.

I am assuming thats bubbles coming out as nothing appears to have popped yet - touch wood

If it's noticeable, then it's really not good!
 
Air bubbles can take weeks as pointed out here to work their way out of a system. So yes - expect water level in the reservoir to drop - especially during the first couple of days
