Dropped CPU Temperature 15 °C going from top rad mount to front rad mount with RTX 3080

You might want to follow the mantra, "Some thoughts are best left unsaid".

You insinuated somebody was a liar without any proof; the only person doing anything really wrong in this thread is you. That "moral compass" of yours you mentioned needs some serious re-alignment.

Yes, I agree I should not have said that. Already apologised for that.

All those savings, from clothes and haircuts alone you say?

 

[Stephen Garner]

He might have meant the type of compass used to draw circles, the type you can give wee jabs to people with.

I wondered why this thread was going round and round.

Yeah, it was getting rather protracted

Oh no wait, that's protractors...

I didn't realise you can buy AMD parts with Monopoly money these days.

The green money is his 970 refund money

I will be switching back to top mount with AMD 6900XT and see what the difference in temperature will be.

Hi,

Me again. Just want to say that I have thought more about the way I behaved and just want to apologise to all involved. Especially to @gerardfraser I am sorry. I hope you can forgive me, I will make no excuses.

Thanks for posting your findings on rad position I found it interesting.

I'm late to the discussion, and, after reading all 5 pages, feel I'm going against the grain by bringing this back on topic!

I've copied the temps below from the OP. I fully understand the reduction in CPU temp due to moving the rad, but I am shocked that the chipset and GPU temps have barely increased. The system is obviously generating the same amount of heat as before (same CPU and same GPU), so how is that heat now being exhausted from the case to well that the chipset and GPU are not reporting significant temp increases?

Top Mount

CPU - 78.5°C
Chipset - 56.5°C
GPU - 58°C

Front Mount

CPU - 63.3°C Dropped 15°C
Chipset - 59.5°C Raised 3°C
GPU - 60°C Raised 2°C

All is good.

I do not have a good explanation all I can say is what I did. Now I have lower RPM on the fans in my system with the same setting and lower CPU temperatures. In no way did I consider either setup unreasonable or worrisome for me.

This is what I did ,same BIOS settings for Fans to ramp up at certain CPU temperatures.

With the system I am planning to build I thought it would be better to have the radiator in the front so its getting the cooler air, with exhaust fans in the top and back to draw the heat away from the m/b and GPU.
So I would have 3 fans on my 360mm radiator and 3 in the case so that should be balanced and thought of replacing the fans that come with the AIO to more powerful ones so I don't lose some of the airflow that the radiator restricts
Does that sound OK

Sounds okay to me - Remember to mount the AIO with the tubes coming out the bottom if at all possible

Just to clarify, the tubes coming out the bottom of the radiator
