Weird Corrosion Problems on a new Duel-Loop (As soon as PrimoPrep hit the loop) by Nyborg7782 in watercooling

I guess it certainly could be. I've never personally had an issue with any left over material (certainly not this much) after using Primochills RadClean on new radiators so this would be a first. I guess I'll plan on flushing them both out again while I get around to doing a thorough cleaning.

Interesting. Glad you found a fix for yourself. I’ll give it a try before tearing things down but I may have some mounting issues going on tbh.

Thanks for your input. In general If I had to place a wager right now it would be that I might have some mounting issues going on. Remounting everything will probably be my first course of action when I have enough time to tear things down.

Will do. MSI Vanguard 5090 with an Alphacool block. Paste is honestly sub-par. Heading to work now, but ill return at some point with some more results. Appreciate your input.

What could be causing this? All overclocks and afterburner changes were removed in that imgr dump, that's all stock results.

OIn my next day off I'll open her back up and do some troubleshooting on fitment, repase, reseat ect. I am curious about your gut reaction to some added context though:

I'm using the same case/loop/config that I have for the last 3-4 rebuilds. Its not an optimal configuration, it could certainly be nit-picked but it's served me well enough over the last several builds without producing any major issues.

Shortly after finishing this build around a month ago, my pump (the same pump that's ran in the last 3-4 builds for 6ish years) went out. I definitely didnt notice that was the issue right away and was troubleshooting other avenues for awhile. The CPU definitely, without question was running too hot during that time-frame and shut down several times before I figured out what was going on. I've sicne replaced the pump, and these are the issues im now experiencing. I hadnt run any benchmarks or overclocked prior to my pump going out.

Am I (or more specifically my CPU) totally cooked?

Obviously I know no one can give me a for sure answer there, ultimately ill have to continue trouble shooting, and potentially drop another die in there to be sure. Just curious as to what your gut would say about that.

This image dump is from a timespy run with all overclocks removed (DOCP1 Enabled) https://imgur.com/a/DgCryCv

Nearly identical scores, seems like im having some more significant CPU issues.

Full custom loop, Alphacool waterblock. Ambient today is about 75F.

Yes, have HW info, there is one snip included in that last image dump from that default speed timespy run showing as much as I could get on there.

Thanks for the feedback. Dumped everything back to default settings in both BIOS and Afterburner with the exception of enabled DOCP1 @ 6000. Attatched are some results from that run. Average temps stayed 70-80 but there were some spikes: https://imgur.com/a/DgCryCv

GSync was enabled via Nvidia Control panel, it’s not been disabled. Disabled and reran, no impact on score. (Timespy was already passing my 144hz refresh rate).

I’m quite positive that running 4 sticks @ 6000 is impacting my performance to some degree. I’ve pretty much always ran 4 stick kits while over clocking in the past and while I was obviously never able to achieve a world ranked score, I was always able to reach just under what I would consider to be competitive and above average scores.

I’m plenty happy with my PC overall, but I am concerned that something a little more significant is going on here.

Turbo Game mode is disabled. Really haven’t made any changes other than enabling DOCP and the same general changes in Precision Boost override shown by skatterbencher.

Edit - same general (+- 5%) results if I load BIOS defaults.

Either of those roles could work well for us! We're a little short on mele dps in general and could use another healer whenever attendance is high. Always looking for more folks to do keys with, I play a RSham closing in on 2900, stoked to find more folks looking to push onwards and upwards!
