V8 Water cooling kit help

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 09:53

I have over clocked I have gotten to 4.5ghz on an i5 3570k with 1.280 volts and after just 6 minutes my temps are 78 (on OCCT) degrees I bought this cooler as it was supposed to be performance and its not performing I have tried re seating the block twice. and bleeding the system by rocking it back and forth laying it on its side and even turning the case upside down while its on to get out all air.

customer support says to post in here as they say its and over clock issue and 8 is their resident specialist

I have the V8 water cooling kit with a hardware labs 240mm x 54mm deep rad that i got as an free upgrade.

The kit is great. I do my X79 testing on that.

Check the CPU block mount and double check. It may be that the contact pressure is poor. Also make sure the water is flowing in the correct direction through the block.

As you know 3570K has paste between the IHS and the Die of the chip. If you have a bad paste job then to get the best possible temps your only option may be to delid. I would not recommend this for warranty purposes and if you are stable at an overclock your happy with it is not necessary.

Ok i followed instruction and re seated and took some pics of my layout

at 4.4ghz on occt with 1.236v my hottest temp is hitting 74c

how much paste did you use there? I would say thats way too much

davido_labido · 3 May 2013 at 12:57

also (i cant really tell on my netbook) make sure there isnt a kink in the pipe on the second image

probably isnt, but worth a check

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 13:15

i only used a pea sized blob stuie and not there no kinks davido all bends are natural i cut the pipes alittle long to allow for refilling and adjustments, i just ran (intel burn test on maximum) 10 pass's and hottest just hit 74c.

Stuie Last seating before this seating when i posted this thread i had used the spatula method and spread it thin and still had this issue.

I think its too much paste too but it should not make a massive difference. What board is that?? Is the VRM's hot could heat soak be a problem??

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 13:28

its the ud5h gigabyte ill run tests agin and see if they get hot

8 Pack · 3 May 2013 at 14:27

The UD5 has well designed power delivery. I doubt the socket soak is teh problem then but please test. The TH range run much cooler.

stuie · 3 May 2013 at 15:02

can you put up the rest of your specs too mine runs a bit warmer due to a full pcie and memory lanes if you are fully loading the cpu that heat might be normal

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 15:23

I have a CM storm stryker Roof modded to fit fans on outside as 54mm rad takes all roof on inner case above mobo leaves about 12-15mm clearance between mobo and rad.

8 GB of patriot 2133mhz ddr3 ram

1gb 560ti nvidia gfx

60gb patriot torque ssd (boot drive)

500gb seagate HDD

650w corsair tx650

All case fans stock and controlled by in built fan Controller on full

2 front intake
1 240mm rear exhaust

Rad set up two corsair sp120 on pull (exhuasting out of case) through roof and yes stuie my temps are when stress testing

8 Pack · 3 May 2013 at 15:45

Nothing there that causes excessive heat. When you changed from Air to water what was the drop in temps?

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 15:46

after 2hr 15 minutes 8 pack the heat sinks on the board are just warm to the touch not hot at all on prime 95

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 15:48

i only had the stock air cooler on optimizaed defaults my idle temps were about 28 an 50 odds on load (on stock cooler)

stuie · 3 May 2013 at 16:40

So when you went to water did you jump straight into overclocking? can you reset to how you were and let us know what your default temps are? When did you install the loop? Have you fully bled it?

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 18:26

I bought the loop cleaned out my case except mobo built the loop used a slave psu I have and bleed it for around a day and a half tried what everyone said rocking it, tipping it on its side I even sat it up side down for a while. I built the loop last Thursday. I didn't start over clocking straight away I gave it a day or so to bed in.

I went into second bios loaded optimized defaults and my idle temps are 29-31c do you want me to run a test to get load temps e.g. ITB or Prime?

No heat soak then. hmmm very strange this. Are you over tightening so the board warps and the contact is not great.

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 19:49

I tightened the pins till they went hard and the back off quarter turn as I thought thw spings would take up the slack, with this being a sealed unit pump/res that run from molex I take it I cannot ajust its speed that it is just full speed all the time

8 Pack · 3 May 2013 at 21:41

Yeah its full speed all the time. Whats the difference in temps of thee cores?? a lot or are they all within 5 or 6c???

At this I think it may be over tightened though.

scotsdragon · 3 May 2013 at 21:46

they are all within 5 degrees of each other i will losen them alittle more
