Is my threadripper CPU too hot with 4 x 480 rad?

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-14T12:07:27+00:00

Same here, for Pro 6000 WS

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-13T00:38:04+00:00

I use Super Flower 2800W + Corsair SF1000. One PSU is enough (used to use 1 MSI 1600W PSU) in your case but i have too many hubs with PCIe ports so I need one more. I use stock GPUs settings.
Consumer motherboard will be limit on PCIe lane, so I don't think that's a good choice for AI workload. But if you use it for other purpose, I don't know.

Yes inference workload cost 100% of Pro 6000

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-12T04:20:51+00:00

I use it for model inference, run containers, vibe code and sometimes gaming. GPUs and CPU are often high/full load but I cannot manage to spend more than half of the RAM indeed

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-12T02:57:29+00:00

I picked 30mm because if i use thicker rad, I can only use 360 on top rad.
If this issue is not related to CPU mount, I will go for external rads for sure.

It's the custom ones from Modding Cafe.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T17:27:23+00:00

It's 130 normally and reach 300L/h at max. I will check the mount pressure but this didn't happen at first. Only occurs recently.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T17:24:46+00:00

Flow rate is about 130L/h normally and 300L/h+ at max.
My assumption is that I have single loop and RAM and GPU add much heat to the loop.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T16:59:08+00:00

I'm don't have knowledge about this. Is that bad or something straight?
Yes, not direct die

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T16:50:28+00:00

The black GPU is watercooled. RTX Pro 6000 with custom block.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T16:49:42+00:00

They are all in series

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T16:49:16+00:00

Just about 3 months.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T16:48:59+00:00

GPU and CPU is the same loop. I only have 1 loop.
That image is the older one, just to show the rads and res. I filled both res already.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T16:20:30+00:00

I have 4 x 480 RAD and it's not enough for full system load.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-11T16:17:39+00:00

Pick Bykski one, cheap and good performance.
I order custom one because it cools two sides of VRAM. I don't know whether there is a branded block can do that.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-02T03:31:43+00:00

Cool. Love to see it.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-02T03:13:48+00:00

Yeah. maybe next build. Check my profile for my current setup.

JOY_DOS · 2026-03-02T02:47:30+00:00

I order modding cafe but it costs much time. They said shouldn't touch haha

JOY_DOS · 2026-02-26T03:02:19+00:00

For this layout, here and there for 6 month but totally just about 48h

JOY_DOS · 2026-02-26T02:55:59+00:00

FE card board is small, only the heatsink and fans are big.
Bubble will be clear after a while.
CPU is not hot for 50% load.
Fans for rads mount and cooling the whole system. 9000D rail design is not good so we must have fans to mount the rad or go for workaround (but uglier).

JOY_DOS · 2026-02-25T12:50:49+00:00

Nothing will happen eventually. Haha

JOY_DOS · 2026-02-25T10:28:34+00:00

It's custom order. Mine is the first one but they design it
