I just finished my first loop

It’s running sweet but as the gpu generally gets hotter than the cpu the cpu header control doesn’t seem appropriate. Is there an app that will monitor both cpu and cpu adjusting the fans accordingly?

Everything is EK

Haven’t had time to tweak much but dialled it to 1100mv and 2100hz right away and got 10005 graphics score in timespy
Max junction temp was 68degrees. What a difference!

Beautiful!
I would also like to know of this app as my fans are running on a 1,2 or 3 speed case controller currently for the gpu and the cpu has its own header, but tomorrow they will both be in the same loop and the same situation as you.

You got some pictures for us?

Run a firestrike ultra, and see if you get close to my score

As soon as I get home. No idea how to do it on my phone

In a word yes. BUT with having the system down for so long I decided to change the RAM. I'm currently in the middle of playing the 8 day game with a private seller on ebay, so all fun and games! Doesn't post in 3 motherboards on its 3200Mhz profile, all of which do 3200mhz all day long. The even worse part is this is B-Die too! (BLE2K16G4D32AEEA kit) So I've got a set of G.Skill on order.

A bit on the alphacool block, it's ok and looks nice. BUT it needs fast flow or the temps are poor. So my D5 has gone from speed 2 to 5!

Luckily I have a D5 which I normally run at 4. In other news mine shipped today!!! Being a long bank holiday weekend I'm unlikely to see it before the middle of next week though.

Only OK though?

Illuminist · 18 Apr 2019 at 19:21

So any of you watercooled brothers gonna beat my Firestrike ultra score ?
Or a at least tell me what settings you manage to max it out at comfortably

I'm going to reorder the flow in my loop next week. The GPU is going to be first out of the D5 to get max flow and pressure. The one thing I'm not struck on is the crazy left turn the flow does coming into the block. May of been a legal thing to not copy the likes of EKWB maybe. I can't see it helping the flow though. So if you can I'd get into the GPU block straight out of your D5 to get the best results. It's just 9 screws to fit together, but the pads are all to cut and takes some time. It does look very nice though with the addressable RGB.

One very important thing to note! My block didn't come with a peel off stick for the package area (core and hbm). The nickel has a almost plasticky feel too. I used a blade to check there wasn't anything. So give it a really good looking over when it arrives!

Gutted I've got a DDC pump and was really hoping this block was going to be good.

You never know, he could have seated it incorrectly or not tightly enough, or the thermal paste is incorrectly spread. Then again his setup might be restricting the flow to the card.
Don't take someones experience at face value of your own, yours might be great.

Is a DDC pump bad or weak? I don't understand ..

If after all it is a poor block, send it back and get a Bykski one, they are amazing and cheap and have a remote control for the rgb

Where is your score listed?

I had to dial mine in a bit for stability. In the end I have settled on 2065mhz 1070mv 1200hbm 20%power limit
2700x processor

Add yours to compare, and look up radeon vii cards with 1 gpu and empty cpu box. I was number 4 but with my gpu score beating number 3,s
