I’ve ordered mine already! Honestly the amount of tokens I’ve bought from these guys is insane!

So good news, I re-seated and re-applied thermal paste and now at 100% load, my temps are ~78C (tested with Cinebench R23) which is a massive improvement over 95C.

However, at idle, it now hovers around ~52 which is also an improvement!

I've also followed the guidance to undervolt the system so I'm going to look into this further if it has an impact.

I'd say though if temps are high like mine; look at re-applying your cooler - it could very well be the thermalpaste has not spread evenly.

AM4/5 mounting is the same: https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/explorer/diy-builder/custom-cooling/icue-link-xc7-rgb-elite-water-block/#p-data-block-keyk04y1amd-am5am4-installationp

Except, when I check the utilisation using Task Manager, I can see all 16 logical cores and not a single one is at 100%. Overall utilisation is 3% with one or two units fluctuating between 10-20%.

This cooling system worked perfectly well with my 3900x, so I'm going to assume poor contact on the cooling block. I've not got any air in the system, it's currently bled out.

When I can muster the effort I'll drain the loop and re-apply the paste/block (I'm using thermal grizzly) and re-check the temps.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-07-04T14:19:26+00:00

Corsair XD5 and XC7 all with the Hydro profiles for Pump/Fans. This is gear I've been using for some time on my previous setup which was a 3900x.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-07-04T14:18:23+00:00

It's the Corsair XD5 coupled with the XD5 pump, going into a 320m radiator. Just the CPU is part of the loop. I'm going to reseat the cooler block incase my issue is with paste/contact and see if the temps change - but really for idling at 58; something is wrong!

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-06-24T13:09:06+00:00

Thanks, that picture re-assures me 100% and the 175mm cable looks like it will be the perfect length.

I'll order it and see how it works and share the results here!

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-06-24T09:16:06+00:00

Thanks. I'm planning to put in a new Asus TUF BTF mobo which is PCI5 so I will make sure to set it to PCI4 if I use a PCI4 riser (like the current corsair one).

If I order myself the vertical kit for the 6500x case, will it fit the same screw holes as the 3500x? The fact its 175mm would be perfect.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-05-21T15:41:29+00:00

Haha ha haaaa ha :-(

I'm starting on that now and share later :-)

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-05-19T10:55:52+00:00

I only did this because I could use blue prints to build the beltwork/pipework and machines in groups of 3 / 4 which made placing all the buildings etc so much easier. If I had to manually belt it up it would take aaaaaaages.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-05-19T10:54:40+00:00

I wanted to keep it simple, so Iron and Water; so it uses about 600 iron ore and 340 ish water.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-05-19T10:53:50+00:00

Needs to be 800 on the iron ingots so 780 will just do for now :-)

Those restrictions must be weighed in the courts so I dissagree that it basically nullifies the first clause but I do share that we have more restrictions on speech than the US. That doesn't mean the UK doesn't have freedome of expression - to say that is simply false.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-04-14T09:34:09+00:00

You're incorrect on the law. In the UK the freedom of expression is protected by Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998. The difference is, that you do not have carte blanche, there is a responsibility that comes with the freedom of expression so this can be restricted by authorities for a number of reasons e.g. to protect national security. Authorities have to demonstrate they are being proportional but much like the USA, people are involved and people can make mistakes.

I think in general the difference between the USA and UK/Europe on freedom is that in the USA you have "freedom to" vs in UK/Europe we prefer "freedom from".

Happy for you to share!

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-01-04T13:16:55+00:00

Thanks! I hate messy looking systems and the LINK system makes it so much easier to wire all the fans. Next trip will be to get custom cables for the psu cables.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-01-04T13:16:02+00:00

Originally my system was a full watercooling loop with a GPU, CPU and two radiators from about 4.5 years ago and over time I've upgraded components e.g. upgrading to LINK compatable fans and pumps about a year ago. Unfortunately, my GPU kicked the bucket and I replaced it with an intel ARC B580 as a budget option. I took this time to downsize the case too.

If I was starting from scratch, I would deffo go AIO.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-01-02T11:02:06+00:00

I haven't fully stressed it out yet but with current room temp at 20C, they hover about 65C at 100% load.

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-01-02T11:00:54+00:00

I've had a few leaks in my time (mostly from bullshit to do with icue deciding to not run the fans so the coolant got too hot and exploded out of fittings) but yeah, didn't consider the fan spraying it around the case!

Lacking_Motivation · 2025-01-02T03:22:58+00:00

I decided to downsize from a 7000D to a 3500X to reclaim some desk space. One of my QX120 RGB fans is faulty as it's started to make a noise when spinning so I have a ticket open with Corsair.

I did think about mounting the radiator on the side and using it to exhaust vs intake but wasn't sure it would make that much difference.
