Temperature's on your systems...

Those are very nice temps. Have a 5960X normal at  43C, hours gaming 52C; 980s run 32-35C on lc. Don't do benchmarks.

No, low 40s (42-44C) the highest 46C. Will be changing the gpus to what you have when the faster 4K monitors come out.

I like apple soup.

What is this witchcraft. Somehow I have never had apple soup before.

sorry for off-topic, but this is serious business

But what if banana soup decreases your temps?

banana soup decreases but bananas soup increases, so you are both right

Well then with all due respect you are wasting your time, only way I would compare cooling is to remove all the other catalyst, those are:

room temp
humidity
cooling parts
parts being cooled
case
case cooling
testing software
cpu clock speed
gpu clock speed


once you have all those matched up you can then compare one part to the other, if you don't then you are wasting your time on random readings.


second the only time something is wrong with your lc system is if your temps are below 80c, there is nobody that can trouble shoot a trouble that does not exist, and if you have temps below 80c then you don't have a problem that exist.

Now as a personal thing you can put down your room temps and your load temps and then compare them at at a later time (say a year) to your own temps, to see if the performance has dropped or not, and some loss of performance is normal after some wear and tear, but a good up keep should keep that at a very little amount.

But if you told me or anybody else or called up DS and said hey I have load temps of 67c but 5 others on the forums have 60c load what is wrong with my system? You would get the answer "there is nothing wrong with your system". You can then spend your time arguing but I can assure you there is no tech that will trouble shoot an lc system that has temps below 80c when fully under load.

for example what temps a 5960x with say 1080gtx has with hydro pro has absolutely nothing to do with a system with 6950x and titan with hydro pro. You are going to have a very difficult time finding a tech that disagrees with that.

Hope I made myself clear.

But look the temps of a 5960x is different then a 6950x so you can't compare those 2 cpus, the take into account the oc, 5960x at 4.0ghz is different than 6950x at 4.2ghz or even 4.0ghz.

so my question is this, if you have a 6950x and I have a 5960x, how can we compare our lc system performance? right off the bat they have different load temps.

also if I play wow on my pc at 1080p and you play farcry on your pc at 1440p, we are going to have different temps, how are we comparing those?

I didn't even get to the rest of the list.


for me the only way I would even consider looking at your system and another is if you find somebody that has:

Velox
i7 6850x @ 4.5Ghz
Asus Rampage V E.10
Titan X (Pascal) SLI
32GB DDR4
Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB
1200W AX1200i
H20: HydroLux PRO (their pro has to be exact as yours since DS uses different parts for different systems)
Win 10

show me a person that has those parts and the same room temp and humidity level as yours and we will compare temps after running the same test apps at the same res, with exact same fan/pump settings.

That is not correct, wow puts a different amount of stress than farcry does, on top of that the amount of stress on the gpu changes with the res also.


I posted the info I wanted to post for you, it seems you are stuck on doing this anyways, so I will let you to it.

I'm just letting you know that if at the end you think you have come to some conclusion, you will have a difficult time finding others that will agree with your conclusion. The only way you will have any footing with others is if you have exact parts, and I mean exact, it can't be a pascal card, it has to be the exact sli you have, the exact mobo and everything else I listed.

good luck.

Originally posted by Xenecus I'm trying to understand these water cooling solutions.... What temperatures are you guys getting with your systems? My experience so far: Room Temperature (~70 max) Idle Temps <30c for both GPU and CPU (usually 28c) Under Load is where I see the temps a bit high, when compared to other water cooled systems. For example during heavy gaming sessions or 3DMark, if it was a bell curve i'd say something like 55-58c (60% of the time) with spikes on 62c and 45c on the low end.... this is of course running it on heavy rendering games such as Witcher 3, Deus Ex and synthetic such as 3DMark. My CPU even at extreme benchmarks never goes above 75c and that's core 4, rest of the cores are 60c, for some odd reason Core #4 is a big offender and ~15c gap with the others. My CPU for these tests is on a mild OC 4.2GHz @ 1.30V and GPU's are running +160 / +200 with 120% power limit. What are you guys seeing?

I know this is a old post- I ran into this as well with one core running hot, but found that one screw came a bit loose during shipping. Gentle turn and all is well! core 4 now always within 9deg of all the others.
