High water temps?

[jammir]

Im getting higher temps then I expected for the amount of rad space in use at full tilt these are the temps

Room: 22c
CPU: 67c
VRM: 55c
GPU: 61c
Water: 43c

PC-o11 dynamic
1950x at stock
1080ti at stock
ek 360 XE PE SE rads
ek Monoblock and gpu block
ek ddc 150 pump res combo
fans at around 700rpm (ek vardar)

I am running soft tubing with ek QDC's, but are this temps on the high side or normal for the hardware in use?

How much radiators do you have?

1x se360 1x pe360 1x xe360

What happens if idle? Do water temps drop to ambient? There's something wrong but it's hard to see all of the loop, particularly how the XE is connected.

Idle the gpu sits about 25c and cpu at 30c.

DDC has a lot of pressure. So long as the water is moving “reasonably”, flow has little effect. The heat capacity of 3 360mm rads is huge so even with low fan speeds it should be more than enough. I do wonder though if the intake fans pushing thru that bottom rad are struggling, and the same with the top fans, to stop the case temps just escalating. With the case open, how are the temps?

Not much diff between side open or closed id say maybe 3-5c at most and at even 700rpm you can feel the hot air coming from the top, the fans are moving air.

Looking at the case pics from Lian Li, those radiator mounts look quite restrictive. I've got a similar problem with a Fractal Define S where the front being on vs off drops temps by 4-6C. In this case, those mounting points still have a lot of case restricting airflow. SO given you have low speed fans trying to move air through some fat rads and through those case openings, maybe your temps aren't unusual.

I noticed a big drop removing the top dust filter as with it on my temps were about 10c higher on the cup, still have the bottom and side filter as removing those would just make the case to dusty.

....Which fans are you using?

Ek vardar 120er 2200rpm

One question: are you using Y connection?
If running let's say top rad - CPU - bottom rad - pump/reservoir - GPU - top rad, making sure you're connecting to the correct in and out of each block, and there's enough coolant, can't explain the temperatures.
Running the pump at higher speeds at times would help to eliminate some air, and small bumps to the tubbing too. Not too harsh, though.

No Y connections.

I'm wondering if it's just that threadripper runs hotter as it was a little bit cooler when I just had a cup block but with the monoblock I also have the heat output from the vrms in the loop.

Small update for anyone with the same issues as me the system didnt have much air in it was just mostly in the res, anyway I changed the side fans to exhaust so only now have the bottom fans pulling air in and temps are

Room: 26c
CPU: 56c
VRM: 47c
GPU: 47c
Water: 39c

Fans at 650rpm

Games sit a bit lower this is with furmark and heaven running for like 1 hour.
