Corsair H100iV2 VS X79 System, Will CPU Overpower it?

[aremis]

In my possession is an E5 1620 and a E5 2690v2. The 1620 runs fine under my water cooler, and maybe I just had my fans set up incorrectly the last time I tried to set this up (and I just took my entire PC apart and redid everything) so maybe it'll be different with things moved around, but will a 2690V2 overpower this cooler?

I understand "Don't know till u try" and whatever but I tried before and the thing would overheat pretty fast. IDK that these are hot chips, I just know I got the chip out of a server and it has the cores and cache I need SHOULD I need it. However the 4 core I have right now is doing good enough.

If anyone has info, I'd appreciate.

I saw a video ona 9900k OC'd that did fine on this cooler, but maybe someone has had experience.

I currently have 2 cooler master fans that came with my XB Evo as the fans on the rad and my 1620 is resting as 32C. I am in a sunroom, so I have plenty of cold air capacity if and wehn I need it, though I am hoping with my "new" R9 290 I can heat the room.

I'd imagine that AIO would be ok with those chips... depends on ambient temps amd case airflow, of course...but should be OK.

Ok. Maybe I just needed to remount it and didn't realize.

I used to watch a lot of experimental builds on YT. Things like 2011 chips were known as heaters with the bigger core counts back then, and the only other chips I am really familiar with are either laptop chips or P4 C2 era.

I got this machine sent to me from a friend on the Level1Techs forum, the only thing I have that otherwise fits is a Wraith Pro RGB just sitting on top of the socket. Which actually worked....

I'll give it a shot. I am going to be using this machine in my RV Van to heat it (it has an R9 290 and an R7 250X) and to have peak performance for the f of it. It just so happens RN I have the ability to do this, so why not. Now all I need to know is can I just pass through an NVMe drive to run a VM for tarkov and not have the game complain? And not just a sata controller?

I mean, it won't be great temps-wise. But, it shouldn't throttle (again depending on case airflow, ambient, etc).

Double check your thermal paste. Is it from an older tube still in use? The latest compounds offer a bit better conductivity than some older makes/models (guilty as charged). My son recommended Promilitech PK3, says it is pretty good (he's on an 11th gen Intel and 3070 w/AIOs.
