My idle temps have increased by about 10 degrees and load temperatures going up by maybe 15-20 degrees.

Interestingly, I also have a single core which has gone all ****oo (profanity filter gone a bit weird :D - https://goo.gl/GLH6yF) and is showing an idle increase of 20 degrees yet shows no such disparity in more regular temperatures. Fun fun fun.

How about you?

My GPU temps have gone up in line with the ambient temperate (about 5 degree Celsius) but it it's the same for idle and load so not too bad. Haven't looked at my CPU temps.

Trust us Brits to find a downside to the nice weather eh? ;)
 
GPU temps haven't really increased that much, maybe 1c, but my CPU has been having a fit recently increasing 10c+

Water temps are also up at least 5c. Changing fan profiles hasn't done anything to help either.
All the temps are still well within limits, but I'm just not used to seeing my CPU at 60c+ these days! :D

CPU is fine on WC system but the air cooled SLI GPUs have been having a real hard time of it. 2 Restarts this weekend during BF4 sessions :(

Time to open that case up and get rid of the dust !

I am running the R4 with stock fans so I think I should get another intake at the front. The Noctua has been superb till now but the current problem is the intakes and layout of the HDD cage, not a slight on the Noctua itself.

The CPU is cooled by a Noctua nh-d15s with two NF-A15 PWM fans.

With a 4770K at 4.4Ghz, current idle temps are:

46 degrees
65 degrees
52 degrees
46 degrees

Oddly, the one reading 65 does not increase at the same rate as the others when under load? Takes longer for that one to increase temp.

I just ram my fans up to 12v instead of 5v, seems to sort things out.

Actually, sticking all fans on "Full" instead of PWM managed has indeed helped :D

Also, the "rogue" core has now normalised itself and now inline with the other cores?

Will check under load but seems in this instance, disabling PWM and letting the fans go at it helps a lot.

I suppose is dependent on how good the fans are if letting them "go" makes a difference or not I guess?

Thanks.

I kept all mine on PWM as I run quite an aggressive fan profile anyway.

Only time it early morning when the sub is shining through my living room window, but opening the window removes the stuffyness

Up till now, PWM was more than adequate. I have never bothered with fan profiles.

I suppose setting a lower "target" temperature in the BIOS would be the most effective solution?
 
Im not an engineer, but you would think there would be someone out there designing a watercooling system that chills the water, not just pumps it faster.
