Temps advice

sdavlaws · 11 Jul 2021 at 08:57

I am relatively new to water-cooling, first set up was based on a 2700x and GTX 1080 and never really noticed high temps.
Now upgrading to a 5900x and 3080 following advice of some other members I added a fluid temp sensor which has highlighted a fluid temp of 45°, with my GPU been warm at 57° and CPU peaking around 85°
Setup is a O11 Dynamic

Intake EK 360 Slim with 3 Corsair ML120 RGB & 3 EK Vardar in push/pull 60% PWM
Exhaust is a EK 360 with 3 Corsair ML120 RGBs 55% PWM

If anyone has any advise as to why my temps are so high or if I am expecting to much it would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

It's an EK supremacy block.

It's a slim in the side as at the time this was the recommendation for that location to ensure they fit.

It's a PE in the top mount and SE in the side one, the SE was used due reviewers advising that would be better but its clear something larger would have fit.
I don't have to use the vertical mount anymore so may look at swapping the side SE for a better bottom mounted rad.

Thanks.

So I am thinking.

Sell the slim rad and buy somthing like Cosair XR7 when the price is right use the current fans with the EK fans and PE rad in the base with the XR7 in the top and the ML fans in the side and top.
