Hey, I have had my fair share of pain with my waterloop, I did an earlier post: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/775069-Loop-getting-really-hot
Now it seems like my problem has come creaping up again....
My gpu core reach 94-95c at almost any game at any settings. I have an MSI 390x and are using Aphacool block for my gpu.
Granted I do only have one 240 x 145 x 45mm (L x W x H) rad, I still believe something is wrong, because I did have about 67c at ultra at one point.
My fear is that the coolant I am using is the cause, the Aurora Mayhem 2. I did not intend to buy a coolant with pearls, but I really diddnt mind when I first saw it, it looked cool in the first weeks.
Now the pearls is almost gone, and the color has darkened alot. I see alot of pearls in the res. so im assuming its the same in the other parts aswell.
As I emptied the loop today I tested how much preassure I needed to add to the loop by blowing in the tubes. Through the rad it seemed fine, but through the gpu block it seemed to be pretty tight.
I reapplied thermal paste on the gpu and set the loop up again (thought the paste might be the reason) but the temps still rise to 94c.
So my question is if you think that the coolant might have clogged the gpu block so much that not enough stream is allowed through?
And if yes, do you think its saveable by rinsing the gpu block and add a new coolant?
Idle temp:
CPU: 20-35c
GPU: 20-30c
Load temp:
CPU: 40-55c
GPU: 85-95c
Thanks.
