First custom loop!

I want to know if temps are ok as only ever used AIO's.

This is the setup

7900x with monoblock @4.2GHz
msi 1080 seahawk
1x EK SE360 1x EK SE280 1x SE140
XSPC D5 on pump speed 2
all vardar ER fans running at 1000rpm
in a Fractal R6

on max load gpu and cpu getting 46c and 74c seems high? idles at 24c and 27c.

GPU sounds ok, cpu a little high imo but not dangerous.
Idle temps seems ok.

What are you using to test temps ?

jammir · 7 Apr 2018 at 15:20

Using prime95 and getting gpu temps off msi afterburner and cpu temps off the oled on the mobo

get hwinfo64

What are your temps like when gaming?
Prime is not a real world test of your system for 24/7 use.

Gaming sitting in the 40's for the cpu and the gpu around 35c

Maybe need to reseat the block see if i put enough paste when I go hardline.

Liking the sneaky Disconnect at the bottom, stylish!

Temps look good to me.

Gaming temps are good, so I would't worry.

Nice build - what height is the res?

The 150mm I think?

Its this one with a multiport top https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-xres-140-revo-d5-rgb-pwm-incl.-pump-wc-9jx-ek.html

Thanks - so larger than a EK Revo 100 D5 (I have a tiny case).

I missed out on RGB & can't justify adding it now.

oldbanana · 15 Apr 2018 at 18:20

RGB doesn`t actually make anything faster.

Habakkuk · 21 Apr 2018 at 12:06

I've just added RGB control to my 3D printer - blue when warming up, red when up to temperature, and the opposite when cooling down.

I am working on adding this to the computer as well - idle/vs under load.

Faster? no, but cooler? :cool:

jammir · 29 Apr 2018 at 21:29

Gone hard line now think there is a bit of dead space under the gpu tho?

Coolent temp at full load gpu and cpu is about 39c.

Stunning build bud, How did you find the hard tubing?

jammir · 29 Apr 2018 at 22:02

Not to bad, most of the trouble was with runs with two bends.

I can imagine that could be an issue... Is that a Phanteks halo at the rear? Was thinking of adding some to my build

Some bends were just to hard to attempt for my first try so made do with fittings and yes thats the Phanteks digital halo along with 4 strips of their new digital RGB leds. The whole WC loop was a lot even without the GPU block set me back £900+.

I want to move over to glass tubes so tried to keep to only one bend in each run at max so I can get 6x glass with 90 bends and one straight run of glass to swap over but need to do something with the run from the gpu to pump.
