ROFL @ your Overview video. You must have been in one hell of a good mood. Wheeee! Woooooooo! Wheeeeeee! :lol:
 
Does the Mayhem Aurora Coolant work with these? I know it had problems in the 750 combo.

check here:

Raystorm block passes but no mention of the dual d5 res. Dual DDC res pass with 2 pumps, fail with one. You could contact mayhems via their site and ask I guess.

The coolant is only for epeen modding/shows/photo work anyway, you'd be better off with something else mate.
 
Aye Pastel is Mayhems stand out product.

Aurora isnt designed for long term use. Its pretty pointless for anything other than shows and is very hit and miss if it will work or how long it will last. Thats why Ive never used it.
 
Hey. I ve bought this KIT , ive installed it (i cool only CPU for now with the kit) and i am not even near Your temperatures. MY idle temp with ambient 25 is 40 and stress is 70 on 4.5 GHz OC. I am using Mayhems X1 blood red fluid. Does this fluid have any issues with the kit ? Why i am not hitting anything near Tinytom ? :(
 
Its all down to volts mate. Youve not given us any where near enough info to be able to accurately tell though

cpu
vcore
pump speed
photos
ect ect ect
 
I ve just ran OCCT on stock settings. I use Rampage IV Extreme MOBO , i7 3930K and 16GB corsair dominator GT 2133 MHz. I am sending the screensalong with the photos. Pump is on full speed now and was during the short stock test.

If you have left the volts on auto thats why its hot.

its not just vcore, to get 2133 from an original 3930k will need lots of supporting volts and the board will be putting more in than is needed.

You need to set it up manually and the temps will come down.

Beyond that make sure the in and out on the cpu block are correct and youve mounted it properly to the cpu.

The fans you have aint all that either really though :/
 
Do the pics work now ? On them You can see how i ve connected things to each other. Would appreciate of advice. Well, I am using 2133MHz memory and well i used just turbo ratio to automatically OC this but i think that on stock it should be a bit lower than reaching 70 C . The screen i provided is from stock. I am using Arctic Cooling MX4. Would be nice to get an advice for new fans. Will Noctua NF-F12 be better ?i have some spare of them.

I forgot to add i play to use the pump set on 2 or 3 as i prefer quietness and it wastn that much diffrent in temps before.

EDIT: Here is the link to the gallery in case pics still dont work : http://postimage.org/gallery/1cl708gc/
Updated temp results from OCCT : http://s14.postimage.org/jbp6qitfl/image.png
Results with 4.6 GHz (turbo ratio 46) : http://s9.postimage.org/sj71lejy7/xasdfcs.png - Can it be considered good with comparison to voltages on the screensot ?
