Good afternoon,
Long time reading, first time poster.
I am sure most people are familiar with Jayztwocents. As a first time builder/custom loop guy I followed his build with a few different tweaks when it comes to the hardware but overall if you picture Skunkworks I've got a copy of that. 2 different loops as one is for the CPU and one is for dual GPUs.
This was a fun build for myself and a friend I asked to join in with me along the way so we both gained some experience doing this sort of thing. When it was all complete everything was fine. Temps were in great shape and the GPU temps were around 20-25 for 1 card and 30-35 for the other (celcius). I read this was common so I didn't think much of it.
The other day I was playing Rainbow Six Siege and noticed some frame lag. I run dual MSI GTX Gaming Z 1080 cards in SLI. I exited out of the game and checked my temps and one card was approaching 87-90 degrees but rapidly dropping in temps since I had exited the game. My computer had been running fine for almost 2 weeks without any issues and nothing had changed prior to the temperature spike. I came back to my system a few days later and booted it up and checked some things and again the same thing happened with the temps on the Heaven benchmark.
I took the card out of the system and took it apart and cleaned up the thermal paste and re-applied some and put the card back together and put it back in my loop making sure to run everything so all the air got out. I am still noticing issues with the temps creeping up. Just running rocket league alone with MSI afterburner in the background showing me an overlay of my temps I'm seeing the card creep up to 80 degrees just on the start menu.
For the time being I'm off games until I get this sorted out and I'm hoping the community can send me in the right direction for what to check/fix.
I have a 560 rad (blackice nemesis) with 4x140mm corsair fans running at 100% on it (I have a commander mini on order to setup some fan profiles), ek waterblocks, distilled water w/red dye, a D5 Revo ek pump and then various fittings in the loop itself which is PETG. My CPU loop is doing just fine and keeping everything cool.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
