I thought they seemed super high until I googled other peoples 9700k temps. It seems like this thing runs hot as hell. I don't think it's the AIO. My old AIO was doing the exact same thing on this CPU even though it ran 22 idle 60 load on my 6600k (stock).
Yeah that's basically what I'm seeing now with an undervolt. Honestly I probably have airflow problems and it being really hot here at the moment isn't helping.
Asus TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING
Anyway here's this bad boy with really poor lighting.

Any ideas how to get the AIO tubing out of the way of my gpu? lol
Mount the cooler a different way.
It cannot be top mounted the other direction because of the blu-ray drive (which I use and need) and it cannot be mounted to the front due to the case
I meant rotate the bit that touches the CPU more than anything. Have the tubing go towards the front of the case.
I feel like having the NZXT logo not the right way around will drive me insane but I may give it a go
It used to be on the floor which is carpeted which I have read by all accounts is bad for air flow at the bottom of the case. Either way I didn't see any temp change from moving it from the floor to behind monitor. The front panel is already removed exposing the fan and the dust filter
If you mount the radiator the other way (with the tubes at the front) you might be able to get away with moving the tubing to the side of your GPU.
Could you explain this? How would I set up the adaptive voltage like this?
Yeah that's what I've been doing. 1.2 caused a crash in a benchmark but 1.25 seems rock solid so far. I'll see what I can get away with between that. I guess I'll just deal with high idle temps
All that stuff is on, but when it was set to dynamic/adaptive it ignored my turbo max voltage and the cpu overheated and throttled which is the first time that ever happened.
So when you're stress testing, you're loading up all the cores and it boosts up to 46, right? What happens if you try loading up just one core so that it boosts up to 48 (or whatever the max turbo is)? It's possible that your undervolt won't be fully stable when you do that. Technically, you'd even have to test each core separately if you wanted to be really really sure. That's the reason why most people prefer to have just one boost multiplier when overclocking, that way you can easily just stress test in one absolute worst case scenario that will never get surpassed.
So through a feat of stupid luck, I've gotten all of this to fit in my cube PC.
Yeah man, turn off multi-core enhancement, set multipliers to auto, and set LLC to like 3 or 4. I think your board goes up to like 8, and LLC auto for the TUF is about 7 which is ridiculously high. Motherboard manufacturers pump these settings way up in order to differentiate themselves performance-wise, but it just makes problems. If that doesn't help you, you could also try disabling XMP.
Afterburner's Auto OC bumped my 1080 up by about 230 MHz. I feel like that's pretty good, and I really don't feel like doing it manually
How long have you been running the loop?
I can find out later later when I'm home, but will any of this mess up my performance? As much as I don't need to overclock, I would like to keep the 4.6ghz boost at least
I just got it connected when I posted that. It's powered off now and the areas the bubbles would form are covered with liquid..
The fluid should push them into the reservoir and if it doesn't you might need to kinda finagle the fluid to push it out into it.
Either leave it off for a bit and see if it settles or run the pump and it should.
I made the bubble smaller vv
yo this has reduced my max temps by like 20-30 degrees while retaining the same exact performance
thanks dude. considering how cool it is while still reaching 4.6 turbo reckon it's worth seeing if I can manually up it to 4.7 with the same settings?
4.7ghz w 1.3v is super stable and very cool under load. thank god it was just dumbass asus bullshit this whole time. PSA for everyone
temps still sit at 40c idle but sounds like that's perfectly normal for a manually adjusted cpu and is fine and healthy

would this power an i7-8700k and a 2070
Anyone here got a 2070? If so, which edition?
I've been deciding between gigabyte and msi armor edition. The price difference is only about 5€.
I've got some mixed results from searching about these 2 cards. I'm guessing in the end its just hardware lottery?
I have https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CGYLrH/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2070-8gb-windforce-video-card-gv-n2070wf3-8gc and its been working just fine for me
sometimes when I start it up I get a little bit of coil whine but thats it, not an issue honestly since I use headphones
that one yeah, windforce. I read they are more louder but then I also read the opposite that msi armor being louder...
Yeah, you could probably SLI 2070's with it too provided you don't overclock the 8700k then run P95 and Furmark for sport. 550w would be just fine for most use cases, I'd probably recommend moving up to a 550w gold over a 650w bronze unless that bronze unit is known to have better regulation than the gold units you're looking at.
I dunno honestly. it seems fine to me, but I also don't have it right next to my ears so I can't tell you about how loud it sounds exactly. especially not in comparison to anything else. but its a fine enough card. especially with 3 fans and a backplate, pretty okay for the price tbh
