5900x watercooled behaviour.

The pumpres is the raijintek antila d5 Evo rgbw, if that helps..
Although it's a pain in the butt as it's externally mounted and I can't get the rgbw goodness to work as wires too short

And should the res be filled to below the top tube that sticks into the res or above it?

Above it or will get splashing/air bubbles
If you're returning into top of the res
If returning into bottom port it's not as relevant
I usually fill my res to inch or two from the top
I never fill it to the absolute brim
Cracking open the top port to release air
Is not fun if you didn't leave a bit of room

Is it a standard rgb cable?

Edited
Yes that did help
Was able to look up the rpm for
1,2,3,4,5
Position 3 is actually quite a higher rpm
Than I was thinking of
Another reason why getting a vortex
Combined with you have low restriction loop


P1 : 1,800 RPM
P2 : 2,500 RPM
P3 : 3,300 RPM
P4 : 4,000 RPM
P5 : 4,800 RPM​

Ah brilliant so it's fine if I run it lower speed then.

Thanks for all your help.
I'll put pics up but it's such a mess as the rack contains 70 percent of my home networking as well.
 
Can probably use p2/2500rpm
Assuming of course temps are still OK
Performance over aesthetics is my thing
As long as things work
They don't necessarily have to look great
Nice if you can get both
But old school watercooling looked nothing like
Today's stuff lol
Our stuff back then looked like
A drunken plumber built it lmao
 
Ah yeah, there's no anti-vortex anything in that res! P2 will definitely be fine if it's going that hard already though, I think you could even give P1 a go and as long as temps don't significantly degrade then it would be fine. Clearly there's very little resistance in that loop.
 
So I managed to get hold of a block for my 1080ti.
And now I don't understand it anymore.

How come the GPU idles at 19c, and hits max 30c after multiple loops of furmark GPU stress...
But the silly CPU sits at 33-34 idle and as soon as you do anything, even just load up chrome it goes to 60s...albeit it comes back down quickly but this seems absurd.

Iv also set the CPU to curve optimise minus 30...

Is this still normal?
 
That's a very good gpu temperature
But the cpu yeah normal behaviour
The gpu has a bigger die
It's block also is bigger so can take the heat away
Quicker
The cpu you have so much crammed into a small area
Test the cpu in something like cinebench r23 multicore test
You should see it sit at a steady temp and frequency

Edited
If you can put a coolant sensor in the loop
I tend to go by my coolant temperature
And ignore the cpu temp
Unless it's too high for more than a spike

And if you use asus armoury crate
It sometimes can run a service that bumps cpu temp way up
For more than a spike
Very weird behaviour it doesn't use a lot of cpu %
But can literally put my cpu temp up by 30c

Which coolant sensor would you recommend

I just use a bog standard one
G 1/4 pass through fitting
That has a sensor wire to my motherboard
You can get more expensive stuff though
Like the oled ones that show coolant temperature
And flow rate
Not personally tried one
But belive their sensors may be built in
Requiring no wires to the motherboard

Edit
The oled ones may be connected by usb
Would have to double check

If its this one
Does say 1 x thermal sensor connector

It's not that one unfortunately.

So what options do I have to get sensors on this..I was looking at the bykski inline one but no idea if it'll let windows read the readings. This pc is sitting in the rack in the garage and so doesnt get looked at.

Other option is to hook up these sensors to esphome device but that is really complicating things.

You could go the DIY route and try something like above.

You could also go for an Aqua Computer Octo or Quadro, or something like a Corsair Commander Pro. These all offer you the two pin header required.

Thanks for this. It seems a bit more reasonably priced compared to the one with the screen.

So if I get one of these and 2 flow temp sensors then hook them up with 2 pins I should be fine.?

Peculiar that's the board comes up
If I copy and paste the one you said?
Can't see a non plus version

If its in the garage
I would want a flow sensor and a temperature sensor
Aquacomputer octo or similar
Or corsair commander pro maybe
Or any other that connect by usb
But I would check which devices software will
Shut down the pc if a drop in flow occurs
Or an excessively high temperature
Since you can't see the pc
Aquacomputer software (not tried it personally) is meant
To be great
But have the feeling at some point there may be
Some sort of update fee or something for new versions

Personally if I had a watercooled pc
In my garage
I would have built the pc using a leakshield just in case
