Hey all,
I've been out of the loop for some years and I've recently bought a brand new PC. Kinda' went all in on this build:
AMD 5900X (seen boosts up to 4.95GHz)
Asus X570-E
64GB Corsair Vengence 3600MHz (D.O.C.P applied)
Nvidia RTX 3090FE
NZXT Kraken Z73 (3x 120mm top mounted)
NZXT H710
I can feel plenty of warm air being exhaused from the top vent while the CPU is under load (CPU based 3D renders in vRay) but the temperature difference between the CPU and coolant in the loop is quite large. tubing is in a "6 o'clock" orientation, and is the lowest point in the loop
Under 5-10 minute long renders on all cores the CPU hits 71-72C yet the liquid temp remains at 39C. After stopping the render the CPU drops to 50C within 12-15 seconds - so there is definitely heat being pulled away from the CPU by the AIO.
The pump is locked to 100% and is spinning at 2700RPM, the fans are set to a relatively shallow incline and are based on liquid temperatures:
It's my first time using an AIO so I'm unfamiliar with the nuances, but I'd expect the disparity between the two figures to not be so large. Is this perhaps bad TIM? I removed the stock paste from the Z73 (smushed it during unboxing and made a mess) and instead used some standard Noctua paste.
Should I replace it with some better paste? Of is it possibly a mounting pressure issue?
Will locking the pump to 100% reduce the lifetime of it?
Any other recommendations or things to look out for?
Obligatory case pr0n:
