1st watercooling : temps Going crazy

[Insorior]

Hi Guys,


I finally completed my 1st loop.

On first boot, the pump wasn't running so it thermal throttled.
After that : blue screen of death "no accessible boot device". I ended up reinstalling windows.

After installing, I immediately installed core temp and here is the result. I think that something is going wrong but I have no idea what...

The pump is definitely working (I see the last micro bubbles traveling), the fans are running, and as far as I know the cpu block is correctly installed.


Any help will be welcome !

Thank you

Pictures of your setup, make sure the blocks are seated correctly.

Pictures show block from front & back + overall view.

I think all I can do now is flushing and checking the block...

 

[Insorior]

I'd check the mounting on the CPU first. Even if the water wasn't moving, if the block was correctly mounted it shouldn't be seeing those kinds of temperatures on boot.

I think you're right and the problem is definitely cpu block related.



I fastened it more without flushing and here are the new temps.

these temps under load (MS Update) still seem very high to me

Is that expectable temps or still high ?

 

[Insorior]

No those temps are not expected and very high across the board for for even heavy loads let along windows update which is trivial for most the part.

I would

• Check to ensure the pump is actually working (can you see fluid moving around the loop properly).
• Possibly shake the system to remove a large air bubble which may be in CPU block (I have had this before)
• Did you ensure you removed any plastic coating on the CPU block which is normally on it before applying thermal paste (small thing but known to happen!)
• Make sure any valves you have in the system is actually open.

There's actually a valve but it's closed. Should it ?
Also I'm quite sure that I didn't forget to remove the plastic protection and I don't see any bubbles.

However, the pump is working just fine I'm really starting to think about wrong cpu block application.

i'm going to flush, dismount and see how it does

thank you !

Ok Guys. I'm going to delete my account.
