Initial liquid cooling setup not providing adequate cooling
Initial liquid cooling setup not providing adequate cooling
Hi everyone,
I'm new to watercooling and tried it in my latest build. The CPU temperatures in the BIOS are rising to around 90°C before the system powers off. It looks like the fans are expelling air through the radiator as expected, and the pump appears to be functioning properly. Here are my components:
AMD Ryzen 1950x
Thermaltake Floe Riing 360 TT Premium Edition
Corsair 32 GB RAM
Asus Prime x399-a
Asus GeForce GTX 1060 OC Edition
DIYPC Vanguard-RGB Case
Crucial 500 GB NVMe SSD
EVGA 1000W Gold+ Supernova
Mostly everything seems okay except the temperature spikes and the brief shutdown shortly after startup.
Can you press or adjust the pump and radiator? This is usually simplest when you remove the radiator from its housing while keeping the pump attached. Occasionally, AIOs can develop airlocks where a tiny amount of air trapped in the cooler prevents the pump from moving coolant because it lacks the necessary flow to push past a bubble in the system.
Hi, Perhaps the connection isn't there. Look into the cooler's instructions and YouTube tutorials. Consider getting assistance.
Do these temperatures increase when the CPU is idle? Are there any benchmarks or loads applied during boot-up to idle desktop? If you grip the cooler tubing, do either of them show pulsations? Should we verify alexoui's concern about the CPU block making good contact with the CPU IHS?
