fdolopez11 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hello, I'm new to the forums and I need your support with my build. Is it normal that one of the radiators get hotter than the other ones? I have 3 in total 1x360mm,1x240mm, 1x120mm I have Delta T of 8-10 degrees with the GPU and the liquid on the loop, increasing the speed on the fans doesn't affect cooling performance at all. I've seen liquid temp go to 44-46C with iCue software. Here is my hardware Pump: Corsair XD5 CPU: 9900K no OC GPU: 2080Ti FTW3 with OC Fans: Corsair ML120 LED. Case: Corsair 680X Loop order: Pump->GPU->120mm Rad->CPU->240mm Rad->360mm Rad The temps I have seen while gaming are: CPU:65-70C GPU: 50-55C Any advice is highly appreciated, what is wrong with the build? Here is the link to a picture of my build and fan configuration https://imgur.com/prlV8T4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) If you are using the Hydro X program curves, try a more deliberate and fixed rate while you evaluate. Try 2000 rpm fixed on the XD5. Then try 3000. See if that makes a difference both a idle and load. If it changes the temp more than 1C at idle, you might have some flow restriction. Also take control over the fans. 120mm fans start to work a little harder around 1000 rpm. You may see a clear 5-6C difference between 800 rpm and 1300 rpm. There is ground to be made up there and 44C seems too high. Edited May 14, 2020 by c-attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top intake fans are Corsair LL120 that came with the case and are at 80% speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 You stated delta T of 8-10C (expected for that wattage), but coolant temps are in the mid-40s? So your idle coolant temp is mid-30s? What’s the temperature of the room? Is that 240mm on the bottom intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the temperature of the room? Is that 240mm on the bottom intake? Idle temps are 29C, also consider that I live in a city that is 2,600 mts (8530 ft) above sea level. Room temp should be 23-27C with no A/C, sorry I don't have a way to measure. Bottom fan with 240mm RAD is exhausting aire through the bottom of th case. Should I have the pump rpm high or low?
