Temperature concerns

[tezza192]

Ive had my 3770k and gtx 680 sli in a loop for about 6 months,

SO far been happy with the temps, my cpu tops out around 55 and the most ive ever seen on the gpus is 51 or so degrees, that was with supersampling running on some game (witcher 2 i think).

Anyway been playing crysis 3 lately and it seems to have given my system a total kick in the nuts, the heat is just pouring out of the rads and my gpus are nearly hitting 80 and the cpu is 70 or so. This is the only game to have done this.

Should i be worried? Do i need a new case and more radiators?

Some more information about your loop/build would be usefull

This. More info about the loop is needed. Has dust built up in the rads or anything?

 

[tezza192]

As stated I have a 3770k at 4.2 stock volts and 2 stock gtx 680s.

My loop has a D5 bay res combo, 240 alpha cool rad and a phobya xtreme 200mm rad, single loop with half inch tubing. EK gpu blocks with backplates and an ek cpu block. The case is a 600t.

No dust, I changed the coolant about 3 months go. The fans are all running off 12 volts on the 600t fan controller. :ike i said up to now temps have been great, this bloody game has brought my system to its knees,

how thick is the 240mm rad?

 

[SavageCupcake]

How thick are the rads? Do the temps shoot up in other games aswell or just crysis 3?

 

[tezza192]

its a 30mm rad up top, not sure about the 200mm rad in the front, but temps dont shoot up in any other game, BF3, crysis 2, witcher 2, metro 2033 ive played all the heavy duty stuff like i said max ive ever seen on the gpu is mid fifties, i play every game maxed out on the settings and filters

It only appears to be this game that has done it, 81 on the gpus its peaked at, i suppose i could turn the fans up a bit

 

[SavageCupcake]

Seems starange its only in crysis :/. Are you on the latest drivers etc? might be something to do with that.

 

[Cru]

Did you move your system lately?
Sometimes when you move it air gets back in the loop

 

[tezza192]

yes im on the latest drivers for everything, no i havent got any air in it,

I'd be concerned at the lack of rad space there, especially considering that the 360mm rad is only 30mm thick. Maybe your graphics and CPU are having t work harder in Crysis than other games meaning the components are generating more heat and your rads are struggling to cool it all now.

For a thin 240mm rad in the roof and a 200mm rad in the front I would have expected that would about the temperatures you would get with two gpu's and a cpu cooled.
Tbh I would have expected even higher temps in games.
