Bad temperatures?

Hi guys,

Recently changed my loop, went for gtx 480 sli to a single amd nano. With the 480's in sli, used to peak around 53c. My nano runs at 21c idle which is nice but when playing division, ive seen it go to 54c?

It's running with d5 pump on a bay res, Rx 360 rad up top and a big thick alpha cool 240 rad at the bottom.

I've been toying with the idea of replacing the gpu thermal paste with some good stuff as I used the EK thermal paste supplied with the waterblock.

I've tried to get as much air out of the system as possible.

Is this right?
 
My 390x can hit 58° if I leave a benchmark running for half an hour so. It's very new so not gamed much on it yet. But my fan profile is set to be as quiet as possible. That's also on 360 plus 240 rads.

Mine idles at 39°.

I guess it depends on your fan profile?
 
The Division will get your card warm, with everything turned up it even makes the 980ti break a sweat.

For ref though my 980ti gets to 35c after a hour of playing idles around 25/26c . That's with 3 x 360mm rads though.
 
I guess it depends on how your using it too, if ya leave it on stock settings it should run very cool as its power limited, but if ya upped the power limit to stop it throttling then it would run a lot hotter more like a Fury or a 390.
 
The temperature seems okay. I have my cpu and a r9 nano under water with two slim 240 rads. Running furmark with stock settings for about 15mins, the nano hits about 50c and the coolant temp hit about 40c. With overclock settings (+50mv, 1100MHz), the nano hits about 65c. My ambient temp is 28-30c.
 
Yeah i figured it would be a lot hotter once the power limit removed and a small overclock.
 
Although its not crazy high it does seem strange considering 480s were notorious for very high temps
