H110i GTX

fantoc1 · 4 Oct 2015 at 14:47

Hi,

I am having some issues with my set up and looking for your results if you run the same.

I got asus hero 8, skylake 6700k stock, 8gb ddr4 ram and H110i gtx aio.

I run Prime95 for 10m with HWmonitor running and my temps will go up to 80C and at that point I shut the test down not daring to wait longer. The aio is set to performance mode. I run the Torture Test - Blend.

Can anyone that have the same set up do the same and let me know their temps would be appreciated greatly.
Tom

Is it attached correctly? Good thermal paste coverage? Which prime test? Is corsair link showing the fan rpm? If not try enabling pwm on the cpu fan header in bios

Ye I do believe it is attached correctly. When on IDLE I get no more than 20C it is only when on Prime95 - the highest it got. I left the tin that came with it as I have done with all previous aio`s I used. I run the Torture Test - Blend. Yes the ****link is showing rmp`s - fans 1500 and pump at 1700 when on performance mode. I come from h80 that had 3 modes on the pump itself, always had it on medium and every time it went to higher temps it would adjust the rpm`s automatically to coop with it and vice versa. Is there any way to have this aio set up the same?

I have run the same again and waiting longer, once the 8k test passed the temps dropped down to 55-60C. Could it be that the test is a demanding one and uses a lot of cpu?? I have not tried any games as my gfx was RMA however when I run dota 2 (3k hours played) the most I got was 26C after 7 hours of game play on integrated gfx. Any further suggestions? Have you got the same set up - if so can you run it for me?

Have you tried Asus RealBench yet? It will realistically stress your system without generating crazy amounts of heat.

Prime is totally unrealistic and generates high temperatures in the more recent Intel chips. If it runs your games fine at decent temps, then there's probably no problem.

Are you using the crap stock fans with the cooler?

fantoc1 · 4 Oct 2015 at 20:52

I am using the crap stock fans with it as I have been with all other ones before. Don`t think that could be the reason

5960xNvidiaGamer · 4 Oct 2015 at 20:54

They are awful.

Is the internal vcore increasing steadily during the prime95 run?
You may need to set it at a locked limit if so.

NO it really jumps all over the place between 1.3 - 1.4?

nothing wrong with the performance of the stock fans, they just rattle at low speeds.

do skylake procs not suffer the same as haswell with p95? try v28.5 or other tests

Nothing wrong with them haha, you should be on stage! They are loud and crap at cooling.

Stock is 1.2 on these I think from a google around

You're the only person I've heard **** them off for performance. Everyone else just bemoans the noise.

TBH I only used them on the H110i GT I had. I then switched to a H110i GTX and already had noctuas lined up so never used the stock, but they are exactly the same as the GT ones.

Ye I googled that too but I wonder why is it jumping around on mine when I have not touched any settings?
I thought that stock voltage is applied to them when being made.
Does this mean that I can manually change the voltage to 1.2?? How do I know it is safe?

Have been using the corsair coolers for years mate, the stock fans are shocking. The difference between using them and using better fans is huge.

Stock fans are fine on the GTX, may be nosier than others but they cool fine.

I had to make some rubber corner dampers with mine and run them on quiet but we all like to upgrade

Cant hear mine above my case fans, its nearly silent but I have never needed to run it above quiet mode but then I "only" have a 2500k at 4.6.

Hi
i just built my system with the same cooler as you
and i have corsair AF120 fans with my carbide 540 case 3x 120m fans front 2 on the cpu cooler
and also a 140mm fan on rear
my 6700k cpu idles at around 24-27-25-24 on all cores
when i did prime stress testing at 1.35v my prime would just go to 80-90deg in like 10mins ...
so my fix was reduce the voltage to 2.50 and that ran prime for like 4hrs with no issues and i did not get over 75deg
and my clock is 4.5ghz which i could probably push to 4.6 or 4.7
so yes prime does really stress your system
but at my current voltage my system is really stable and i can run games for 5hrs straight and my temps are fine.
so i think just keep tweaking the voltage and if you get past 4.5 and it is struggling to cope just drop it back slightly.

They are great at cooling, just very bad quality, noisy and don't last long before getting noisier in my experience
