Hi all, just refitted my WC rig today and I am not happy with temps on the CPU after my delid.
Idle at mid 30s and very uneven cores.
Im just wondering if anyone has changed the CPU without dismantling the loop?
How hard is it and what are the chances of leakage?
I want to reapply the CLP on the die and reapply the MX4 on the ihs too.
Thanks.
 
There isn't as much as slack as there was as I started using 90 degree fittings.
I'll get. Picture of the new plumbing when I get the chance later.
Also changed the setup to a single 780ti.

It's the uneven cores that bothers me a lot. Nearly 10c difference between coolest and hottest core.
I thought delid would have fixed this but I must have applied it wrong.

Sorry for the confusion.
This is how my build is now with a single 780ti

Do you think there's enough slack on the tubing that goes gpu>cpu>rad to pull it out and remove the cpu?
 
Ah I see. Thanks for the input.
I'll just leave it till next year when I do a maintainance.
Thanks.
Hopefully the Tim will bed/settle in soon enough.

I personally don't think there's enough slack, if you try it and you drop the CPU it's only going to land straight in the socket and bend the pins.

Tryied tipping the case and it made temps worse by 5C :o
Really bugging me right now, currently no Asda/Halfords near enough for me to walk and go buy some 5L DI water hence why I dont want to drain/refill the loop.
If I can turn the 90 degree fitting from the radiator, shouldn't that turn the block away from the socket?
Also I was thinking of laying the case flat on its side so I dont risk the CPU bending any pins.
