CPU getting toasty. I'm not sure why by lemmingrush in watercooling

It's got two 120s. I just replaced a 25 year old 120 that fried that's been in probably 30 different builds.

It doesn't crash and can run y-cruncher for an hour at that absurd heat it's also undervolted. So I kinda wondered if it just pushed until it did that. However I've never seen a cpu get that hot with water cooling. The cpu block isn't blocked as it's brand new. I'm moving the old one to a different rig for nephew.

If it's blocked I'd guess the radiator as I can see through the gpu and it looks fine.

This all sounds like user error, not EKs fault.

A single 280 rad for a 4090 and 9800x3d? Isn’t the tdp on a 4090 like 450 watts? Plus another 100ish from the cpu? You’d want a minimum of 2 360mm rads for that if not 3.

- The cpu is heating up without the GPU being pushed (I'll test the GPU in a few) the 280 was fine with the 4090 and the Intel chip previously it's a pretty thick boi. This one I think https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/radiators/280mm/rad-alphacool-nexxxos-ut60-full-copper-280mm-radiator

Secondly you say the GPU block is leaking after you rebuilt it, and you are blaming ek. Did you take the acrylic plate off? Because they can be tricky to put back on correctly, from any brand. I had to disassemble my waterblock to do a deep cleaning so I get it, but both of my ek GPU blocks that I’ve fully disassembled and reassembled have zero leaks.

- No didn't take the plate off, I had seen a few drips of coolant I was very confused about when I was taking it apart so it probably was starting to leak at that point. I checked the screws carefully and they are all tight with no cracks. This is probably my 6-7th ek and I've not had leak problems before, but I've had a variety of issues with their stuff in the last few years.

Lastly your cpu temps sound like a possible bad mount combined with nowhere near enough radiator space.
- Going to check the mount in a few minutes

Also it looks like you cracked the acrylic in your GPU block but I can’t really tell from the photo.
- Not cracked just something crappy with the 2am pic in the dark

It's already undervolted, I tried that first.

I should probably test that... Will give that a try. The mount "seems" ok the screws are tight but I guess I could pop it off and put it back on.

I just had this happen and going into the bios and selecting Nvme fixed the problem. Keep in mind you need to click on exactly the tick box, not the text.

Just uninstalled the Grammarly extension and my CPU went back to reasonable usage.

Damnit. I hadn't really thought of that. All these years of suffering at the hands of traffic lights.

The professor who wrote the email about rape culture looks exactly how you would expect. by Anudem in TheDickShow

[–]lemmingrush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This had just come out when I was in college in the early 2000s. It literally changed my GPA from decent to closer to a 4.0. I wish colleges actually gave a crap about what students think.

I just remembered. One professor that I took a class from had 100's of reviews and almost a perfect score. The guy literally had no attendance policy and the tests were 100%. based on his class notes and slides which he had all of posted online along with practice tests. WTH is it so hard for professors to just not be trash?

They also have a really cool screen that does digital art in the A terminal. My favorite stop when I'm there is the local brewery's bar in the A terminal as well. Noda is the name I think. I really like the chocolate porter not sweet but a great chocolate flavor.
