Full loop now cpu is useless?

Could possibly be a blockage in the CPU block, I would take it apart and clean the little fins over the core area, some crap from a rad may of lodged itself in there causing a bypass to the crucial part, certainly would explain the high temps

How do you take it apart? Just the bolt bits ontop?

I agree, Am using cosair white LED fans on the new top rad, However. I doubt it would make a huge difference would it? :P

Ofc it would if its not blowing enough air through the rads to expel heat lol and if y ou have high density FPI rads heat can be stored instead of lost
 
Also is it worth delidding this cpu? Am now very tempted to remove the head and replace the paste with some liquid metal stuff ijln a bid to drop the temps even lower.
 
Pump is set to speed 5 or at least i think it is. Its the fastest the d5 can go. I thought it was the best pump money could buy :(
 
Fan problems would at best cause 10-15 degrees as even the worst fans still move air. (having them run too slow is far worse than them being low pressure) Settings on the D5 don't seem to make much difference to temperatures either. In any case fans, flow and air trapped in a radiator would affect the temperatures of both components. Air trapped in the cpu block would be likely to cause problems. Back when i ran limited rad space, I only had problems with temperatures when stressing both components, if the cpu can't handle prime whilst the gpu is idle, something is definitely wrong.

What load temperatures do you get on the gpu whilst gaming vs the cpu? (you said 65 on the cpu whilst playing world of tanks)
 
Yeah the d5 will be fine but if it was on its lowest setting from when it was just a cpu loop it might have needed upping a bit, id double check it though to make sure its on at least setting 3

The GPU will never hit 50c underload. It will normally sit at 46c compared to 80c stock fans and stock cooler.
 
Hang on..

Ones reading 18c and the other 30c??
 
Real temp will be more believable, if your room is at 20c then the minimum water temp would be 25c if all was balanced and sized ok.
