So Specs:
5820k @ 4.5 @ 1.3v water cooled
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (4GBx4) DDR4
Samsung SM951 m.2 256gb
295x2 Water cooled
ASUS X99-A ATX DDR4 3000 LGA Motherboard X99-A
Samsung 34-Inch Curved Screen LED-Lit Monitor S34E790C
Seasonic SS-1250XM X-Series ATX PC Power Supply
Windows 10
Water cooling:
Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta Radiator 180 (beastly) - SilverStone Air Penetrator Air Channeling Case Fan 180*180*32mm (130 cfm)
XSPC EX280 Rad AeroCool Fan 140mm x2 (93.4 CFM)
120 Radiator Ultra Thick 45mm with push/pull fans (not in picture) AeroCool Fan 120mm x2 (81.5 CFM)
XSPC Water Block for CPU
EK water block for my 295x2 (I've ordered and redone all the thermal pads on the 295x2 with 17 m/w stuff, and used
Tuniq TX-4 High Performance Thermal Grease)
XSPC Raystorm 750 Water pump/radiator
Now Problem (any other questions on system go ahead and ask):
I have my 295x2 oc'd as much as I can - it's got 50% power limit and +100 Core Voltage (MV)
Core Clock - 1165mhz
Memory Clock 1625mhz
Now my GPU 1 sits around 65 ish, or less, and my gpu 2 sits over 70 usually 71-74. So if any of you are familiar with this card it throttles your Core clock if you hit 74, as from what I've read the original water cooling can't handle 75c or higher (burns up the pump). So it throttles itself to prevent pump damage, as you can see mines a custom loop and if it fries the pump I don't care. I got alarms for my cpu if it gets over 90c. The gpu will throttle itself so no worries if the pump goes.
But I've built up my loop to prevent the 74c stuff, I have NO idea why my gpu 2 is getting so hot besides it is at the end of the loop as far as heat goes...
Now I play Elder Scrolls Online and if you know the game you're probably aware it doesn't work very well with multiple GPU's. That's why I oc'd the crud out of my card, however I got my own profile made and am getting it to work with both GPUs. Just I'm getting tired of the card throttling itself. It doesn't get passed 74 often, but enough to be annoying. My house is kinda hot cause I switch between an AC and Evap cooler cause I'd rather pay for new computer parts LOL.
My observation is that the water doesn't move really fast through my loop and I'm wondering if that's the problem with the GPU 2's heat.
Any opinion would be great.
