Overly hot 9700k

Gaming. I get like normal 50-70c playing RDR2.

I think your missing my point though. Temps are nearly irrelevant unless we're talking 50c idle or something. If the radiator in all scenarios remains cold to the touch, there has to be an insufficient transfer of water from the block to the rad right? Theres no way even 90c translates to a frozen radiator
 
I also was previously using a 240mm mastercooler top mounted with push fans that weren't even static pressure beating these temps. That cooler cost me £40, this has a nearly twice the radiator density, 3x the fans and maybe twice the tube diameter, just based off physical differences it should be performing better than that cheap 240mm and be getting warm. Somethings clearly wrong >.<

remember the tubes are hiding cables from the fans, thay look FAT.. but the tube inside will be the same.
pump will be the same.
you say it should perform better than a cheap 240mm but just a cheap 360mm.
the block look like crap to me and no matter how much rad you have if the block doesn't remove the heat from the CPU it means nothing

that's ok.... good in fact

you need to run the cooler for over 30mins at max load for the rad the really warm up, that how water cooling works. if the CPU is at 80c the water will be at 40(under short load) and the rad will be at 30c
in a water loop it talks time for this to heat up that how it keep this cool
 
Even if thats the case, why is it that every other video I've seen, even people with higher OC using 9900k's are getting 15-20c+ better temps? Is it even possible that an aio can be so cheap under full function it transfers no heat to the rad at all? It's as cold as If I left a piece of metal outside

Fan profile, if the fans and pump run off the same speed settings i would think 50% would be a minimum and would need to ramp fast.
room temp a lot of youtube crap is in air conditioned rooms at 18c

if i game in the day my GPU sits at 50c on an evening 68c because the heating in on

what case do you have? what other cooling? do you have a POO CPU. is your Vcore at a silly level(yes)
 
Downloaded prime95 26.6 to keep it at 70-80c for as long as possible. I'll update in maybe an hour and see if the rad even remotely warms up

your idee temps are 30c(Good), your real load temps are 50/70c(again good)
your problem is a cold radiator?? run prime for 12 hours like you advised to
 
Quick test would be to stop fans then u will see temps rise if u have good thermal transfer. Use some tape to stop fans
 
I did try to use the AMD ones as they are shorter and hoped that would be better for mounting pressure, however the threads didn't match and physically couldn't screw them down. But everything is mounted as hard as i'm comfortable with to not actually damage the cpu
 
No, the 100c was using the latest version of prime95 which people ha e said is way over the top for modern intel. Using version 26.6 and keeping it running for as long as possible to see if the rad is going to heat up at all
