Best temps I've seen for water. I've delidded my 7700K, still it heats and cools instantly with minimal heat output on the HSF. I sit 60-65C GPU/CPU constant on air at 4.6 in game however I can't break 65C+ in stress which is nice. Good to finally see a water setup blow right by though. A+ job.
Thanks! To be clear, I've never stress tested the CPU in this loop. CPU was stress tested at it's current settings on Air, so I know there's no issue, I just don't know what CPU temps would be at full load. I suppose I could load up Civ VI to get an idea... that'd basically give me max CPU and max GPU while playing something I enjoy Need a second m.2 drive first.
In reality, all I care about anyways is water temp. As long as it stays in the 30-40C range, I'm providing sufficient cooling for whatever is in the system. I've done enough water cooled systems now, and enough research, that I think I have a pretty good grasp what works in what environments. Low FPI, slim rads are the best way IMO for the M1, and I'm definitely getting better temps then when I had the PE based Predator in my M1. Some of that is just a better designed loop too, although my Predator was cooling a Skylake i5...
