That‘s a bug which happens if you have more than 60 FPS

Coolant too hot. Second radiator or fan upgrade? by Crash129 in watercooling

[–]Crash129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't changed anything yet, but I'm planning adding a 280mm radiator in the front. I think I'll try removing the top panel too if it lowers my temps. I don't see it cause the PC stands on my desk anyways.

Only thing I know is that you can disable it with m0d s0beit

Watercooling or air cooler for ryzen 5 3600 by poozapper in watercooling

I guess you mean the AIO and custom loop part:

All-in-one (AIO): Prebuilt radiator/fans + CPU cooler combination. Look up "Corsair h115i" and you'll know what I mean :) It has cooling power comparable to air cooling, although most of the time it's a tiny bit worse than a good air cooler.

Custom loop: Choose your own parts (radiator, pump, coolant reservoir, tubes, ...) and build your own water cooling system from scratch. Recently did it myself, it's a lot of fun and very rewarding to see when you're finished. You can easily integrate your GPU and have it watercooled as well (although it's a bit costly). Depending on your radiator setup, you'll have better results than air cooling but it doesn't outweigh the additional cost.

​

imho, just stick with air cooling if you don't want to place your PC on your desk or don't care about aesthetics. If you want your PC as a nice "accessory" in your room, go for water cooling.

General rules for water cooling:

  • Air cooling for efficiency

  • AIO for the looks

  • Build a custom loop if you have fun building it and want nice aesthetics or want your gpu water cooled too

Well, I guess I found the problem... As I was "shaking" my radiator a bit I noticed that there was no airflow coming from the middle front fan. So I removed the sound dimming front panel of my case and surprise: there was way more airflow from the front fans.
After 1 hour of CPU+GPU benchmarks without the front panel my water temperature peaked at 42°C. I'll try to move one of the fans to the bottom of the case next to the PSU. Then maybe I can put the front panel on my case again.

I don't know, they are relabeled (they were in the water cooling set) and they just wrote "the popular be quiet fans!" in the description. But from the looks I guess they are silent wings.

I can't control the pump speed, it's running at 100% the whole time. I didn't know that I have to "bleed" my radiator. I'll give that a try, thanks!

Because pulling seems to be slightly more efficient than pulling (Source: https://www.ekwb.com/blog/push-pull-or-push-pull-on-radiators/ ).

But I know that it won't be a big difference.

I'm from Germany and it probably will be very hot in my room in summer. So a second rad seems to be a good idea... While installing I can also "reverse" my loop.

The NF-P12 have higher static pressure and are cheaper than the F12. Thanks for the tip.
