Good temps?

And
Loop order is irrelevant
As long as res feeds pump
The loop will reach a state of equilibrium after a time running
Ie so many minutes after pc was turned on
You did do a drain point didn't you
And I know you weren't quite satisfied
With the tubing
So it was always getting drained down lol
As suggested swap cpus
May work out fine for both of you. :)
If not a 9900k is a really hard cpu to
Reccomend
As no future after 9900k ~ie would be a new motherboard /socket for future path
Would have to Reccomend AMD
Should you go upgrade path

if thats the case your good to go, once installed check the vrm's and see if they are holding up ok (temp wise that is) if they seem hot add a fan for some active cooling XD

From what I read they were doing fine last I checked on passive cooling. Not the coolest, but nothing to be worried about. I was actually 2 versions out on BIOS. So I just updated, good shout! About to head out and get the 9900k, I'll update once it's in! I've been toying with it for a while, so even with this 'issue' likely being fine and liveable, I've needed any form of excuse to bite the bullet as I'm one of those idiots who just likes to have the best stuff haha. Plus, wife and I have been very good on spending over Christmas by not returning back to the UK for my family or Poland for her family and I'm not headed back for my birthday next week. Sooooo, nice little gift to my self :D

Bios update?
Did I misread it?
Thought you were swapping
A 8700k for another 8700k?
If I read it wrong
Sorry
And just ignore me :)

About to go pickup a 9900k :D

Time to go drain the loop

If it fits in. Your existing board then fair enough
If had needed a new board too amd would have been way to go
I misread stuff sometimes
So if I get it wrong just say so lol
And hell yeah treat yourself

was that with the 8700k installed? i'd still check the vrm's after the 9900k's installed, it'd be a bu**er if you killed your board because that may damage your new cpu which would suck, get the new cpu installed and run a stress test and try to moniter the vrm's if everthings ok then happy days!

Just about to leave and I'm thinking I'll install another one of those noctua fans at the rear of the case put pulling air in to bring a fresh breeze over the vrms, can't hurt and will also get some fresh air in for the top rad rather than pulling all the dirty air from the bottom rad.

Just installed the flow meter and temp sensor, so I'll get back and just stick the new cpu in and get going. Thanks for your help mate.

You're all good mate! And no worries, I read your signature the other week, you don't have to apologise for that stuff man.

Thank you for your help in both this thread and the other!

:) your very welcome, i try my best to help all, been in the computer loop for quite some time and its nice to share my experence with others, let us all know how you get on with the 9900k, it should shread at gaming XD

Will do! And yea, last time I water-cooled was back when I had a E6600 and gtx 9800`s in sli. Long time ago. Been building pc's for years, but having to relearn a lot with the new standards of watercooling and what's to be expected.

It's 2pm here, I'll have updates in about 2 hours.
 
will check back in the morning as 2 hours from now will be midnight and i'm off airsofting tommorow with my nephew so need a early night :)
 
Aaaalrighty! So, flow is good at 60%, I've sat and tweaked a bunch of my settings in Aquero over the past couple of hours. With the liquid temp sensor now in place, it's plateaued out at 38.5C after a long session in Red Dead Redemption 2. Thus I've adjusted my fans accordingly, ambient temp is 25.5C (got a ambient, case and liquid temp sensor attached to the Aquero).

The 9900k is at 5.0Ghz on all cores with 1.280 vcore, and whilst in RDR2, it's sat around 60C give or take, and GPU sitting a smidge under 50C. Overall, I'd call that a success!

And a teeny performance boost to boot.

With ambient at 25C, liquid temp is 28C which is amazing. GPU sits at 30C and CPU package sits at 32C. So both load and idle temps are very comfortable all whilst running practically silent under load and absolutely silent at idle.

NICE 5ghz all core and sitting around 60 degrees is very cool tbh, as others have said the 9900k can be a wild animal under load with temps well over 80 degrees, the voltage also seems really good too, if you can keep it under 1.3v for its life it should last quite a while, as you mentioned earlier in the thread you have a noctua fan as intake which should be sufficiant airflow over the vrm's. so alls good enjoy your new chip XD
 
really good cpu temps
like i said
the 9900k can be hard to handle
but you are bossing it
and at a very good voltage too
looks like you got a good bit of silicon
really happy for you

Welp, out of the box, it's running 15C cooler under Prime95 small FFT's, time to overclock!

If you already delidded the other one it sounds more like you needed to reapply LM and make sure it’s all good under the IHS... If you didn’t delid then yeah dropping 15c is about right as soon as you do ;)
