Overheating Watercooling loop? - Please Help

[SkittlesRandom]

So thank you everyone for the help you have been awesome !!

I have fitted my new fans today on both my radiators and the issue has been resolved my GPU now peaks at 49C and my CPU now Peaks at 61C after a 30 min stress test on both

Such an easy fix but silly on my part, thank you all again and this thread can be closed

nice glad to see the cooling issue has been resolved, just out of intrest what rpm's are the new fans running at?, gpu temps are very good and your cpu is cooler than mine!

Really happy to hear
And you weren't silly at all you used the exact fans EK website says to use with those radiators
And we live and learn now we know for future that even though EK recommended those they are more suited to a set up with additional intakes and exhausts obviously

One of the issues with fans and radiators is that they don't exist as an isolated pair - they are (usually) in a case with additional filters from the case itself. So the Vardar fans might be great with those rads on their own but when put in your case, they have clearly struggled to achieve the necessary airflow.

If the intake fan/radiator combo can't pull in air, then the airflow is not just compromised on that radiator but also on the second one which is trying to exhaust air from a case that doesn't have any. It is always beneficial to have stronger fans on the intake rad than on the exhaust rad. Positive case air pressure stops air being sucked in thru anywhere but the intake fans and makes life easier for the exhaust fans.

Now that you have temps under control, try turning off that rear exhaust you added before and see if it is making any difference. IME, it reduces case pressure which makes the exhaust rad fans less efficient and encourages air to be sucked in though unfiltered case gaps.

I'm running the artic fans I purchased at 80% which shows in the bios as 1500rpm and they are very quiet and also the pump at 80% too I cannot hear them at all with headphones on and defo cannot hear them when playing any game

Yeah for sure, I think the fans as a push pull on each radiator would work very well and very quiet too.

Okay cool, I'll try that for sure as less dust and negative case pressure the better and it may even help performance not having that fan interfere with the top rads flow, thanks for the suggestion I'll let you all know how it goes
