H20 , now 6-7 degrees warmer with new loop?

gottistar · 06-13-11, 06:31 PM

Hey guys recently re-done the "loop" just last night, now according to remp-temp its running 6-7 warmer...it used to run 32-33-33-32 on idle, now im getting 37-37-38-35 any ideas?

What ive done so far is
change brand of paste
loosed up the block a "little" so its not MEGA tight to the cpu

Should rad fans be sucking upwards or downwards into PC?

It makes more sense to be sucking upwards out of PC to me , yeh?
here are the specs and a pic..

CPU---i7 930 D0 @ 4.2 @1.3v
Mobo-ASUS RAMPAGE III
SSD---Transcend hardrive
6 Gigs-KINGSTON Hyper-X 2000MHZ
H20---Custom-swiftech-EK
Psu---1200 Thermaltake TP
Video-6870 in CROSSFIRE
30"---Samsung-sync.master 305t
Case--NZXT Phantom Case-White-
Sound-X-Fi titanium Fatality

I'd try swapping the fans around first. This would make them pull cooler air, from outside the case, through the radiator instead of pushing warmer case air through it.

I have my EK Supreme HF tightened down as much as possible since there's a backplate.

Redo the thermal paste job and go a bit tighter on the cpu. Make sure that you tighten the screws properly (go diagonally then tighten each one a little at a time).

And plus should i go quad fan on the rad? 2 on the bottom 2 on the top?

First, what rad and fans are you using?

Rad is http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_297 _919&products_id=8406
and a mixture of NZXT fans and http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=11037...

all good now, i switched fans to suck air out of PC from rad, then switched different brand paste (not that i think it made a diff, but hey i have a few different brands) and tightened CPU block tighter.. now i have 33.31.30.34 , back how it used to be...thanks for help

What are your load temperatures? Idle means absolutely nothing.

You can use Prime95 or preferably LinPack (site is down for me, right now).
