Sorry folks, I wasn't sure what details were relevant. I'm thankful for the system analysis, but I was moreso wondering what a "normal" temperature range would be. I guess it's all system-dependent, huh? Here's a PC Part Picker list of the whole system, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/snugglepilot/saved/C7h9rH The cooling was done from the "automatic cooling configurator" on corsair's site. But to directly answer the questions -- The case is a mid-tower, Corsair iCUE 220T. Radiator is 360mm. This covers the entire front of the case, but there was only room for two fans when it first appeared that 3 fans would fit. The radiator doesn't fit on the top of the case. This is frustrating to me. :) Hydro Series X XG7 GPU water block Hydro Series X XR5 Radiator Hydro Series X XD3 Pump/Resevoir I was running Flight Simulator for a few hours last night and the entire time was at 50c while the room was at 24c. (though the room probably won't stay at 24c for long. This thing is a space heater!)

It's a mid-tower case, so all 120mm fans. I have two on the radiator at the front of the case, and one at the top sucking air into the case. If 2-6c over ambient is normal, then 30c is my "minimum bar" I need to clear at idle. And here I am typing on a forum, just waking my computer up, and iCue is reporting 35c, so I'm a pretty big chunk over. I feel like I'm doing something wrong somewhere. What's a "load" norm? I'm currently +26c over room temperature at load, which seems way higher than the +16c you cite :/

Heya! My first time using liquid cooling. I have no idea what to expect, and wanted to sanity check some temperatures. My system is a Ryzen 9 threadripper, plus a GeForce RTX 2080 (both liquid cooled). I've got a mid-tower case, with air intakes on the top and the radiator at the front - with two fans mounted blowing outwards. I've got normal room temperature (~24c). Temperature readings at idle; Resevoir: 34c Sensor near CPU: 32c Below GPU: 31c HDD (outside of airflow area): 33c That's with the pump running in iCue on the pump profile, and the radiator fans on a 100%-always setting. As soon as I fire up, say, Flight Simulator at full quality settings - it'll quickly rise to a 50c temperature in the resevoir. I can't seem to break that limit. If I put the radiator fans on the "hydro series x" setting, the temperatures will rise 2-3c across the board. I'm not sure how normal any of this is. Thanks to marketing, I was picturing this scenario where I'd be wiping frost off my case. Being warmer than room temperature was unexpected, and my case fans (the highest end corsair models) are still whirring away as loud as my last PC. How far off base am I? :) Anything I can do to improve? Maybe I should draw cold air in over the radiators instead of blowing out of the case?

Registering to the forum to add a plus one here. Asus Prime X-570 Pro gets constant USB hub resets, and my lighting node doesn't seem to work when plugged into the commander. I've ordered an internal hub to see if that fixes things for me. Edit: I installed this USB hub: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QHQF92K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (I did NOT connect the SATA power connector.) Seems to be running smoothly now...
