I'm troubleshooting/installing a watercooled loop, which contains a CPU and a Graphics card, both water cooled.
I don't have a water temperature monitor, but the pipes feel cool to touch throughout. Running the 3dMark TimeSpy benchmark I get a maximum GPU temp of 46C, and a maximum CPU temp of 68C! How can the CPU be 20C hotter than the GPU when they're cooled by the same loop. Does this mean the water block isn't settled on the IHS of the CPU properly, or could there be some other explanation before I take it off and redo the thermal compound etc.?
