Problems with cooling a delidded 8700k

Usually the fans will have 2 arrows showing the direction of the fan spin and direction of the air flow....

I bought a 360 aoi from overclockers uk for my 8700. After 2 hours running any game it hits 65c running at 5.1. The only time it has gone over 70 is when assassins creed had crap coding and used all the cores at 95% + .Got 3 fans pushing on the rad and it's had no problems at all.

Is your 8700k delidded? I've got a 240 AIO coming so it's smaller than yours. Be interesting to see what temps I get
 
Corsair have just delivered the new bracket for my H110i. Just stuck it on and seeing max temps of 75 @ 4.8Ghz 1.26vs - non delidded. Sound about right?
 
Hey this may seem a dumb question but I want to be sure. When my H105 comes tomorrow, I have to mount the fans at the top of the case above radiator, ideally I would have liked a push/pull config but I don't have room underneath the radiator. I will want the fans at top blowing up don't I, in pull config? Got 2 fans at front sucking in air and one at back exhausting air.

Also I have got 2 EK Card at fans, do you think they will be better than corsair's sp120 fans?
 
Hi,

The EK Vardar will be much better then the stock Corsair, in my opinion. As for Push versus Pull, I have Push.

Ideally I'd like push but due to space I can't. I am looking at buying some Noctua NF fans and they are thinner than normal fans. If I can get them to fit I can go push/pull but that's a big if

Well my corsair H105 arrived today and finally got everything up and running. Overcooked to 4.9Ghz. Done a couple hours on prime95 temps never went higher than 70c. I did stick avx offset to 3 which I think I'll change to 1. Then I'll do some proper testing on Prime95 and Realbench. Very happy. Only downside is I couldn't get those slim Noctua fans to fit underneath so I have it as just pull so far
 
Those are ok for temps - better than mine. I hit just in the 80's with my 4.9 1.29v - she not be stable with any less.

If your not happy with temps mate Delid it. I have no regrets at all. I'm tempted to go for 5Ghz but I don't want to push it. I'm happy with what I got I used 1.35volts as that what was suggested on the forums, think I should lower it?

Edit: I pushed overclock to 5GHz with same voltage. Temps went to 76c on 1 core on 1 hours run on Prime95. Will give it a proper run tomorrow. Ran Cinebench and Realbench with no problems

Finally got my 8700k to 5Ghz with 1.34v stable (Hours of Prime, Realbench and gaming). Temp max out in the low 80's without a delid.
