Thoughts ref Temps ?

[AgedIdiot]

Am running a 5820 @ 4.2 + 2 x 290's (not overclocked) on the one loop.(D5 pump/res+ xspc ex 360 and 120 rads).
Case is a Corsair 780T with the corsair 2 x 240 at front + 1 x 140 exhaust at rear.
Fans on rads are Parvum 120's with air pushed though the rad in the roof and pushed out of the 120 in the floor.

Am running PWM on all rad fans which does of course link to the cpu temp only.
Did notice at the weekend that when playing crysis 3 the gpu's were getting temps in the early 70's + cpu - mid 50's so am just pondering wether I ought to re-think /configure before I clock the gpu's?

Should I get rid of PWM?, go for 2 loops and buy an extra pump?(could in fact go for an aio Corsair H60 for the cpu and leave the gpu's in their full loop on their own) or ?

Or am I worrying about nothing ? - it does run nice and silent and except when running something like crysis the gpu temps are usually low 30's up to mid 40's.

Thoughts appreciated

I wouldnt worry for your given radiator space and how much power the GPU's use themselves seems quite normal.

Increasing fan speed will help and or have them intaking air instead of exhausting it so they are bringing fresh air through the radiators will drop a couple of degree's.

I personally wouldnt worry, but try switching the fans to intake air and see how much of an effect that has. Or try swapping the parvums for EK vardar's or SP120's with a higher RPM and control them via PWM. As they will shift the heat a lot quicker.

I'd be inclined to say that you need more rad space? maybe pop another 360 in or something? I'm not sure of the rad space in that case. Or maybe up the pump a notch?

But I'd say you are worrying about nothing! Do you play Crysis often?

My thanks to respondents.

Will have a play at the weekend - BUT good to know that its not really an issue

No , I do not play crysis that often

Yeah, nothing to really worry about, but you really should have at least 360+240 for that lot to get noticably better results compared to air cooling

IMO of course.
