Possible High Temps

[Caveman656]

I have setup my new loop what is cooling my cpu, but the only problem is that the temps are in the 40's at idle and in the 50's when playing games. Is this normal?

Could the cpu block be the problem?

This is the block. http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop...aterCooling-Kit--RS-Series-Kit-pid-12931.html

Thanks.

Error 404 on the link.

You need to specify the rig and what speed and volts the cpu is running at.

Sorry. I'm using the fans that came with the kit so they aren't the best. I'm using the intel i5 760, that's overclocked at 3.6GHz and I think it's at 1.27 volts. "Not sure". The ambient temp is kinda warm, I'm using the haf x, the loop is fairly good. The three fans are running at 12v

Temps are a little high,for a little oc.

Need to know rad size,name,pump,fanspeed.

Also in what order its connected,and you may check if flow is right direction on cpu-block.

EDIT-: Link is ok now. Temps are high on that loop.And the xspc rasa cpu-block is a good performer,nothing wrong with that.

Have you checked if loop has no air in it.You may need to flip-over the rig,and hold the reservoir high to get rid of air... at least 5 times.

It's a 360 rad, the pump is XSPC X20 750 12v and it is build into the res and the fan speeds are 12v. I am doing what Tom said. Res/pump, rad in, rad out, cpu in, cpu out and back into the res. Could it be the fans? They are the ones that came with the kit, so they aren't very good.

Dont think its the fans. More like air in the radiator.

I did get quite a lot of air out, but maybe it's just a little bit of air left inside. Will it come out naturally or do I need to shake the case again.

Yes you need to shake the case,AND flip it over,if possible try hold the reservoir higher than the radiator and levelled,we dont need more air in there.

Ok, I will try it tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your help.
