Cornwall then Norfolk now
Installed my new loop and I have this loop order

Res>pump>CPUblock>rad>

But

Moment of rushing I've noticed I've gone in the CPU outlet port rather than inlet.

Been like this for a couple days but my temps at idle 36-38c with load being 48-50c

Need I worry about changing the loop?
 
Thanks guys.

CPU is at stock speed atm

CPU block does have a inlet port so i should have used that. I paid for a XSPC Pro block so i assume there is a benefit with using the inlet. I'm thinking i'll get it sorted because it will bug me.

Problem is that OCUK have no stock of the XSPC PETG pipe now :(
 
I did 2x prime95 tests for 45mins each. Max load temp was 58c under prime test. Going to correct loop hopefully today.

I will keep you posted....
 
New pipe work sorted. First boot with temp at idle is 28-29c. So there is defo a reason to use the inlet.

I'll bench with prime...same as before 2x 30min tests and report back.

My temps are defo lower now going in the inlet port.

Playing games I was around 44 - 46c compared to 48-50c. My idle temp with the system having been on for a few hours now is around the same as going in the out port..around 38c.

It's defo a few degrees cooler underload tho!

same loop order as OP. I would like to go from pump > Rad >CPU...next time!
