Coolant temp

noobftw · 5 Oct 2017 at 22:09

My water coolant temp is hitting nearly 50c when under load and about 38-39c when idle. Does this seem normal?

Setup

2x 420mm 30mm thick alphacool rads

i9 7900x @4.6ghz 1.2v (Delidded)

gtx 1080ti light overclock of 120MHz

1x EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM Cooling Pump

I am currently running the fans at 800rpm

Ambient temp is 28-30, maybe the case is too restrictive, i have a Be quiet Dark Base 900 Pro

Pump is running at 3400rpm

I have 2x g1/4 aqua temp sensors attached to the output on both radiators, airlocks?

Load temps under gaming at 4.6ghz - 1.2 volts are with both panels on

CPU:60c-64c
GPU:52c

Going to run the same test with front and top panel removed

A quick test shows that at idle with both panels removed the coolant temp is 29c-30c down from 38-40c

A very big difference indeed.

Load temps with the side panels of are:

Ambient Temp: 28-29
Coolant Temp: 36.5-36.8
CPU:49-53
GPU:45-46

Will do, thanks for the help guy and gals, any recommendations on a decent case that will fit multiple beefy rads
