Hi guys,

I'm currently running a 9900k @ 5Ghz using the silent loop 360 coupled with 3 silent wings 3 pwm fans. Can't quote exact temps as I'm not home but they're higher than I'm happy with on average. Will also thermal throttle when running prime within 30 minutes.

Problem is I've had the aio less than a year and keep I keep getting trapped air noise despite trying to fix the problem by up ending the loop, shaking it and even topping it up.

What do you guys recommend as a replacement?
 
@orbitalwalsh It's been topped up already, I do run the pump at 100% as I remember being advised here to do so. What benefit did you see from swapping the pump out? If you recommended a different aio what would it be?

Though I've always fancied doing a custom loop but have gone for aio's for cost and ease. If I wanted to do a custom loop in my p600s that could be expanded to include a gpu at a later date what would you recommend?
 
It's not delided, I don't trust myself...

Day to day use it's fine other than it running hotter than I'd like. It's only the synthetic stuff that thermal throttles.

@orbitalwalsh any guides for customising it? If I can save money by improving it as opposed to outright replacing it I'd have a try.
 
Doesn't throttle in day to day use, but temps are quite high in idle jumping into the high 80's to low 90's under load it's only synthetic loads that end up quickly throttling.

This on its own is tolerable I guess but with the other issues is begging for a replacement and its either an aio or going custom.

Have 3 intake fans at the front and a 4th in the rear. Rad is up top with 3 fans exhausting.
 
It's not just temps I'm not happy with though, case is the p600s with silent wings 3's in push (when in the front) with the mesh panel only.
 
Not sure off the top of my head, am visiting family, but don't believe it's particularly high.

To be honest I think I'm going to go the custom loop route as opposed to modifying the loop or continually trying to battle the trapped air noise that requires a reboot to sort out.
 
Save me the cost of a radiator at the very least, assuming its copper...

Looks good mate, I've done a different thread in the water cooling section about a possible custom loop, would that stuff work okay?
