Noob question on a Swiftech 8501 Series kit
I installed the swiftech kit with two rads, cpu block, chipset block, and video block. Everything is installed correctly I think. The only problem I had with the kit was the fill and bleed kit. The fill and bleed kit I have does not match the one in the manual or the installation guide on their site. So I can't tell if the main valve is open or close. Anyways, when I start my computer I went straight to the bios and started to OC. I started to get temps at 60 degrees Celcius, I enabled the shutdown temp in my bios for 70C and guess what it hit 70C and it shutdown. Immediately I felt the cpu waterblock and it was screaming hot but both of my rads weren't even warm. Is this right? My radiators should at least be a little warm if my cpu is hitting 70C? Any tips!
