That AIO looks very interesting! Maybe a way to watercool the gpu/compatibility with future fury X like cards?

Oooh, hey, can you answer a question for me?
I jist bought a Strix, myself. I'm only planning on using one pcie SSD and one 2.5" storage drive.
I'd rather not put the M.2 ssd on the back of motherboard due to concerns about heat... But from what I've read, I should have concerns about heat with the 'double decker heatsink anyways.
What are your thoughts between using an nvme drive on the back, on the front with the heatsink, or on the front without the heatsink (but probably without the greatest airflow either way.)
Me too!
Delided and waiting to cure!
I don't think this water cooler is going to work.
Please let me know if you or anyone else has ideas/positions for the water cooler they wold like me to try.View attachment 22084
Cool, thanks for letting me borrow some experience.I'm not entirely sure the front heatsink does a whole lot, to be honest. (Good or bad). I haven't tested it in both configurations. I realize now I probably should remove the sticker on the front of the m.2 so the heatsink thermal pad has direct contact with the SSD chips in order to really see if it makes a difference but, to be honest since it doesn't seem to ever get too hot (high 50's sometimes during extreme loads) I don't care much either way. I did see nice low temps when I was testing with a 120mm CPU cooling fan, so as you said this is really about air flow (or lack thereof) as far as how cool you really want that front m.2 slot.
But the rear drive does get hotter, sometimes in the high 60's. I never see it get that hot on the front, so if I were only using one slot I'd use the front one.
Have it all together now.
Thermals are out of control.. even after delidding.
Perhaps I did not put enough Liquid metal on when I delidded.
AIDA64 fails less than a minute in due to thermal limits. I have the fan at full tilt as well.
Rats!
Strange.
You sure that the delid/paste etc is all ok?
Only that I have run a o/c Skylake i5 from a 92mm rad before (twin 25mm fan tho), and had no issue with temps.
Ramp up your fan curve with Afterburner. Default is too slow and caps at 50% on my Ti FE.
I'm using the LP53 with a Noctua fan.
Are all you 7700k owners out there familiar with this behavior?
Thanks in advance!
So
sorry but i think you messed up your delid. When i run uniengine loops on a single fan gtx 970 dumping massive heat into the dan a4 with the intel extreme cpu test concurrently, i see peak temps of 90deg after an hour with an ambient temp of 30degrees. With aida running and no gpu load i could probably easily manage 80degrees or less. This is all on a 4.6Ghz overclock
Plus i am just using the c7 heatsink along with the noctua a9-x14 fan
You should install taller feet, to give the fan on the radiator some breathing room.Hello,
Here are some photos of the water cooler sitting on to of the Noctua fan.
Im sure it would be better to reverse the seating, fan on top. this is just for measure.

I've managed to install the heatsink/fan assembly from a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW (bought from eBay) onto my Titan Xp. Highest temps I've seen so far is 61C with an ambient of around 22C. Idle temps are extremely low at around 23 to 26C. Fan is silent at idle and about as loud as a PS4 Pro at full tilt. Boost clocks settle right at 2000mhz; I haven't touched the memory yet
Guys i couldn't find a sufficient spreadsheet for different clock speed stats on the 7700k... since i'm about to buy a pre delided one 4,8 oc from caseking and ppl suggested i'd have to run it down to 4,5~4,6, i kinda like to know what settings i need to provide. Offset, coreclock, voltage and anything else i need. I'm running on a strix z270i with a noctua l9i fan. ( i know every cpu is unique but some reference stats would be great )
Sorry if you've already given this info, but this is an upgrade from what temps at stock?
Thanks! Ran it for a while at full fan, capped at 85C for me with cover off, getting anywhere around that?

Do you need to put liquid metal on the underside of the IHS? I've seen it both ways in videos and what not. I am nervous because I delidded yesterday (haven't tested it since I let it cure overnight) and only went with a layer on the die too.Just asking:
1.- Did you put Liquid Metal on the Chip and in the IHS (a matching square)
2.- If you close it with silicone, did you leave a tiny gap? (the stock glue that holds the IHS doesn't close it all around)
3.- Maybe the IHS is far from the chip, doesn't make contact and doesn't cool it.
I think it's necessary, because the Liquid Metal won't get easily impregnated on the IHS, maybe I'm wrong.Do you need to put liquid metal on the underside of the IHS?

I'll find out tonight when I fire it up, I suppose.I think it's necessary, because the Liquid Metal won't get easily impregnated on the IHS, maybe I'm wrong.
I put it on both sides. Honestly, I think it's because it only applied a thin layer on each (CPU and Top IHS)Just asking:

So far so good over here. A sample AID64 run is seeing temperatures at 64C 8 minutes in. I feel like I would be sitting at high 80s by now pre-delid.I think this is exactly what happened. I just fixing apply enough in fear of causing other issues by accidentally using too much.
yes it will help a bit. youll get ~5C cooler typically, some times more if the hsf wasn't screwed down tight.Just curious: has anyone tried removing their GPU's heatsync and reapplying with a better (e.g. Thermal Grizzly) thermal paste to improve temps by a few degrees yet? I haven't got my parts yet but I plan on doing so with my MSI 1080 when it arrives.
What are your normal idle temps? Also, do you think me running 4200mhz Ram will cause this massive heat issue?So far so good over here. A sample AID64 run is seeing temperatures at 64C 8 minutes in. I feel like I would be sitting at high 80s by now pre-delid.
My idle temps didn't really drop in Windows it seems. They're staying around 40 or so, although the Cryorig C7 seems to be quieter than it was before. I got excited when I saw 27C in BIOS, but right now I am hovering at 40 idle. Though I haven't undervolted or anything and it looks like turbo mode is constantly running at 4.5ghz. I did a test Handbrake video encode and I seemed to top out at 80 (whereas I'd probably hit 90s before).What are your normal idle temps? Also, do you think me running 4200mhz Ram will cause this massive heat issue?
I'm going to reapply tomorrow.
Tried about 5 hours to make XMP work on z270i strix and I just couldn't make it work. How fast are your ram?
Also I wouldn't recommend using a razor blade for removing the Intel silicone as the risk is just too high.. Doesn't take much time using your nails or a old credit card to remove it safely.
