Is my coolant temperature too high?

Hey everyone, today I bought a coolant temperature sensor and saw that my coolant reached 43 after a hour of gaming, it seemed a bit high to me considering I have 2 360 radiators. My ambient temp is 27c and I have a 6900 xt with liquid metal and 5900x. Is my coolant temperature delta too much between my ambient? Thanks.
 
You don't mention fan speed. The higher your airflow the lower the temperature. When I originally configured my system I would get 38C coolant during gaming. But I decided that the fans were a bit too noisy for my liking so I changed the curves to make them slower and quieter. Now my coolant reaches nearly 40C during gaming but I don't notice the fans.
 
looks about right to me and similar to what i get with a low fan speed ( 800rpm on 3 x 360mm rads ) , turn the fans up and the delta drops quite a bit. what i have found with liquid metal is while the gpu core is lower that heat is then transferred to your water temp so it will be higher than normal and either require higher fan speeds or more radiators if you want it cooler . I've had my water temp up to 50 degs in the past and never had an issue tbh apart from the heat it kicks out :cry:

i think 43 is fine to be honest.. thats about the same as mine when/if i'm gaming and/or mining

Fans spin at around 900 RPM, more fan speed bothers me due to the noise. Should I get 2 more 360 radiators or is it unncessary?
 
Thought I would ask in here instead of posting a new thread

My temps when mining are 86 on the memory (running the EKWB vector and active backplate) with +1800. Water temps are 42°C with room temp of 20°C. Seems OK? Running a 360mm and 240mm radiator. I think I'll repad the backplate as I think I went a little giddy with pads on the core so the memory might not be making good contact. Or is the memory temp OK when mining? I only have the fans set to 40% to keep them quiet.

load water temp of 42 degrees is perfect, as regard to your ram temps, during gaming you'd see around 50-60 degrees at default speeds but as you are mining and have a huge +1800mhz offset i'd say 82 is about normal for mining, a aircooled card would be around the 100 degree mark, plus your overclock would be a lot lower on air

Yes the memory temps are sound when gaming, even the core only ever hits 50°C. I'm going to replace the EK pads I think in the future anyhow as they aren't as good thermally as the thermalright ones
 
those temps are competly normal tbh, maybe a bit high as my 5950x runs same temp at 4.7ghz with 1.25v, did you upgrade to 11 or still on 10 and also did you update your chipset drivers from amd to the latest version?

Still on Windows 10, Chipstead drivers are up to date

could be the chipset driver last few days i've had issues to the point i've had to roll back my bios, i now am running windows 11 but am on chipset driver version 2.15.07.2229 which is very old, things seem way more stable, next day or two i'm gonna upgrade to the latest and see whats what, for now my pc can run some of the affectd games without restarting.

when you re applied thermal paste did you make sure to cover the whole ihs on the cpu or did you use the pea method and reply of the block to spread the paste?, with amd ryzen its important to cover the whole ihs in a nice even spread of paste due to the chiplet desgin the cpu uses
