hi guys ive just took the plunge and gone custon loop with 480 rad 45mm with x4 sp fans pulling cooling gtx 780 full block temps on this are great 35 full load
but my cpu is running 50-70 gaming and if i stress it goes into 80 i am using EK-Supremacy EVO

now i have remounted it a few times also i have the inflow out flow going right i also have the right fitting in block i checked now my flow rate is fine as my gpu is fine so why so high on cpu

spec of my pc is

x5560 x58 board @ 4.3
gtx 780
EK-D5 Vario X-RES 140 including Pump

whats driving me crazy is my old h100i kept my cpu cooler

thanks

Which jet are you using? Have you had the block apart and is the base orientation correct? Which thermal grease?

What sort of voltage are you putting through the CPU? and which stress test?

I have a 2700K @ 4.8ghz with +80 offset my temps will max @ low 70's using Intel Burn test.

To me I'd say it sounds like you've borked the thermal paste application. Pull the block and check the spread.

No way should the chip be that high unless you're running stupid volts.

Plate/orientation should only be a few degrees difference. I can't imagine it being that high even if it were the wrong way round and wrong jet plate.

hi guys i am using the I1 insert J1 jet that's was the default out of the box and best set up for me according to my instructions the paste i am using is ek-tim i ran out of arctic silver as i have had it off and on a few times and i didn't have a lot left i have done it enough times i am happy with the paste have volts on auto on the board cpu-z says 1.376 v ty for your help
 
tbh i thinks the heat sink isn't down enough only thing i can think of like the screws are right for my board what sort of temps should i be looking at ? full stress with water cooling
 
Did you use the right screws? How tight are they?(finger tight is enough). There should be two sets one with larger thumb grips than the others.

Let's see a pic preferable from a slight angle to see the screw pillars.

Your cpu is cooler than mine and I max out at 50c.

Intel burn test is pretty overkill you'll never see stress like that day to day but I still wouldn't like it at that temp.

I should ask was the cpu block new or second hand?

i used the screws with the larger thumb grips i got them finger tight i followed the instructions the cpu block is brand new

Yeah I see what you mean about the Allen key bit(top right one right?). That should have been apparant when you checked the cpu paste it probably wasn't a uniform spread.

What mobo is that? Trying to work out what the Allen key is for:confused:.

Edit: it's for the retention bracket :eek: wtf that's not supposed to happen.

I've got the same pump/res combo and the old version supremacy. Pump is set to 5 (max). Chip is 2600k @ 1.375, so fairly warm running. This is a fresh mount as of yesterday and the heating is on.

With fans at 30% on total 360 rad (push only) my top temp on IBT is 70, with it generally sitting at 60. I have one GPU is the loop as well, although that's not being taxed obviously. Water temp is about 30 degrees during this.

So yes 80 is pretty high!
 
If you losen the thumb screws is there enough wiggle room for the block to clear the Allen bolt?

I've never seen anything like this. Is it the same on the bottom?
 
Yes there 4 Allen keys top and bottom no room to move block between them.
There keeping the block slightly off cpu will try to screw the. Down tomorrow as out now ty for your help
 
I wouldn't have thought they'd be loose. Fingers crossed somehow it is loose though.

Thank me when it's working :). I'll try googling again having no luck at the moment. The measurements are the same as any other lga 1366 socket so I am confused.
 
Double check the stand offs that screw through the MoBo and into the back plate. It looks like the left hand side is sitting slightly too high, causing the pressure to pull the right hand side down.

Have any of the back plate threads lost their grip (unlikely) or maybe you haven't mounted the back plate properly? Have you installed the rubber insulator between back plate and MoBo?

Clean all the paste off and make sure nothing but paste is between block and cpu. Take lots of pics as you go and post them, as someone might spot the problem.

Also, is that acrylic pipe? If so, it could be pulling the block.
