Experience instability when overclocking after switching to water loop mode.
Experience instability when overclocking after switching to water loop mode.
I also mine and I get the 750 off Amazon for $5 more than that.
That's a bit confusing, but I understand. The G3 costs $120 for an 850-watt unit, and I'm considering purchasing it.

Question from Zachary_49: "Overclock Unstable After Switching to Water Loop."
Zachary_49 shared his configuration and reported instability.
He used a Z170-A Pro motherboard, 7600k OC at 4.6, 32GB DDR4 with GSKILL, and experienced unstable GPU overclock after installing water cooling loops. Previously stable overclock was maintained without issues. He noted temperatures dropping to around 82°C due to poor airflow, high fan speeds, and a voltage setting left unchanged. Since switching to water cooling, his GPU overclock became inconsistent, with temperatures only reaching about 53°C during gameplay. His CPU stayed near 50°C, which he found impressive. He asked for advice on why the change affected stability despite the cooler.
Custom water loop details were provided, including pump/res, radiator, and component specifics.
The bitspower does cover everything, it is a full block, and had excellent reviews. I also do have an intake fan blowing directly through the GPU area as well
I was also going to mention verifying the VRMs make solid contact with the cooler. Did you install it yourself? Were thermal pads, paste, or something else used? Did you ensure they were properly contacting/smearing before finishing? Otherwise, it might be a PSU issue.
I also bought the EVGA Supernova 850?but it was DOA, so waiting for replacement
Following the installation of the new processor, I'm pleased to report a consistent overclock at 2.1ghz on my 1080ti. Additionally, my OC on the 6700k is running at 4.8ghz with an offset mode that achieves a peak VCore of 1.387v. It appears stable, though I'm still a bit unsure.
The power source is functioning correctly, not the processor.
After installing the new processor, I’m pleased to report a steady overclock at 2.1ghz on my 1080ti. My OC on the 6700k is also running at 4.8ghz with an offset mode capping the max VCore at 1.387v. It looks stable, though I’m still a bit unsure. Wow, nice to hear!
Good Powersupplies FTW!
