Hello OCF,
First of thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I need some help in regards to my water cooled setup which includes:
Swiftech MCR140-X Drive(Rad,Res,Pump combo)
Corsair SP140 (Pull Configuration)
EK-Koolant (Blood Red)
XSPC Compression Fittings
Primochill LRT Tubing (3/8" ID, 5/8" OD)
XSPC GTX 590 Razor Waterblock
My Specs are:
Corsair 250D mITX case
MSI Z87i Gaming Motherboard
Intel Core i7 4790 @ 3.6Ghz
Corsair Dominator 8GB
EVGA GTX 590 Classified
PNY 250GB SSD
LEPA 1000 watts PSU
My setup is really simple: Radiator all in one > GPU1 in > GPU2 out ( 1 card in sli ).
- My journey to the world of water cooling was a painful yet an exciting one. It was difficult since English is my second language, it was hard to understand some of the instructions online. I didn't have the funds but I tried to make it work the best that i can. Working in a really tight case was a pain without the use of angled fittings. The bubbles were driving me crazy until i let it bleed the whole day and finally bubbles were gone. I was excited to finally finish the setup but it didn't meet my expectation.
- The first issue was GPU1 temp goes up really fast so what i did was remove the waterblock, reapply thermal paste, made sure heat pads were in right place and then tighten the screws.
At last the temps were in stable levels until i started Furmark and temp was climbing slowly so i know the waterblocks are placed properly.
- But the temps are still in the high 80/90 degrees, so i thought maybe it was my fan speed which spins around 1350 RPM? I started messing up with the Fan's orientation (push or pull) but neither helped...
- One more thing i want to add is my pump is plugged in to a SATA power connector so the speed is full blast but I am not sure if it will help when the flow speed is a little mellow?
Thank you again for any advise and i appreciate your help!
