Water coolant temperature?

Also if your gpu temps are 60 degrees then the coolant will be fairly close to that. Maybe around 10 degrees or so less.

Really? Because that would suck. I'm never far from DELTA-T with three GPU. Within 5-8c of ambient temperature...

Regarding the op however, the sensor is clearly faulty.

Ok, so been doing some more research, the standard g1/4 sensor that comes with the XSPC LED display is a 10k sensor....

Just been looking over my Barrow sensor...... its also 10k? :( so could it be a dicky sensor then?

maybe, maybe not.
Could just be incompatible, 10k is just the resistance, doesn't mean much I'm afraid
best would be to just get the xspc one, then you know it'll work, and it's pretty cheap when you look at the other sensors.
 
I just sold my rig, but I can tell you what I had and what temps:

i7 4770k stock (4.2 for benching), tim CLU, EK Full nickel block

2 x EVGA GTX 780 SC stock (1224/1750 for benching), tim MX-4, EK nickel block

3 x 360 EK PE rads (9 x 850 rpm Enermax fans), 1 x D5 (speed 3).

Plus the case was huge (CaseLabs S8 with pedestal) and whole system had a total of 19 fans (all Enermax 850 RPM).

So my temps were around this:

Idle / stock:

22-24 on CPU, 25-27 on GPUs

Load / stock

35-40 on CPU, 35-40 on GPUs

idle /OC

25ish on CPU, 27-30 on GPUs

Load / OC

55-65 on CPU, 50-60 on GPUs

I am pretty sure that ambient temp inside the case had a lot to do with my temps, because it was an awesome cooling (also very quiet, despite the number of fans).

just one D5 pump? really, wow.... i got two and both on setting 3? think i need to turn them down a little then???
 
Your temp sensor has not been calibrated for with your LCD display. Fluid temp will not ever be lower that ambient temp. It just doesn't work like that. If it does then you might want to go collect your Nobel prize for solving the energy crisis.

This one is definitely compatible and can be used in a spare G1/4 thread on your loop.

If you want a wire sensor, I have one spare that I can send to you or you can get a new one here

Cause of the direct dye cooling on a graphics card they tend to have a small temp delta between fluid and GPU. Somewhere around 10C. Unlidded CPUs are much higher than that, my 2550K can get to 40C above fluid.

And yes, you can probably turn down your pumps. I run my D5 at lowest for silence.

Thanks for the help, i have a wire sensor that came with the XSPC display, so thanks but im covered for that, looks like i will have to get an XSPC sensor now as well, just to make sure.

Many thanks

Also i will turn both my pumps down, even tho they are already pretty much silent :D
 
On my 3xGPUs loop, the water temperature can reach 42C and the GPUs temperatures: 51/52/49C. (this is with my benching overclock, with my 24/7 overclock, temperatures are 5C lower all around)

1. CPU & speed
Didn't put a sensor on my CPU loop yet.

2. GPU
3x7950s@1100/1500

3. What radiators and fans + speed =
XSPC AX360 + EX240 + AX120 using SP120 fans @1400rpm and a DDC 18W@10V (3500rpm)

4. Coolant temperature
42C Max checked after a 30 minutes BF4 session. (my sensor is on my reservoir)
Room temperature around 23C

Check this thread:
Project Radster

It's my old rig. Like I said, 19 fans :)
And I had an EK PE 360 with fans on 'push' for every component.
I think that ambient temp could have a lot to do with this. CaseLabs S8 have a lot of open space, not cluttered with cables or pipes like some single-width cases. There was a very good airflow from front to back and top of the case, that is probably the reason I had such good temps.
 
The coolant temperature should approximate or be slightly above the case air temperature on a well set up system after some use. The air passing through the rads will be the case air temperature at the inner rad face. This may vary slightly top to bottom.

The difference in CPU or GPU temperature and the coolant will be due to the efficiency of the block in taking heat from the component into the coolant.

The difference in air temperature and coolant temperature will be due to the efficiency of the radiator/fan system in taking heat out of the coolant into the air.

yeah i know that :)

New sensor ordered today anyway, so got to drain the whole loop just to fit it :(
