Shoot Me....

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

Cheers man! How is the overclocking with the 6800k going so far may I ask?

Still stock speeds atm

Want to get the loop right before OC

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!
