Ok, thank you all. Everything is running very cool now. I even did a quick xmp 2 and 5ghz quick overclock and running cooler than it did idle in bios or windows with nothing running. Appreciate all the help. What was it? I think a combination of the backplate not tight enough, maybe bad...

I actually ordered a water temp and just got the thermal grizzly hydronaut. Putting things back together and will have at least distilled water leak test going tomorrow. Hopefully results mid/late week to see where we land. Thank you for your reply.

Quick update - screws to backplate were not the same, thermal paste didn't seem as uniform as I remember putting it on and don't believe the standoffs were tight enough causing some space between the block and gpu. Have new thermal paste on order. Any recommendations on how much I should...

I was using the Intel Extreme Tuning. When doing the stress test and even not doing it it shows throttling. I'm going to start with a manual clock speed, voltage, etc. lower and work my way up. That is a good point about the amount of thermal paste. Been thinking about that. I applied a...

I tried a cpu stress test and shows the CPU Thermal Throttled. It seems to cap at 89c and max core frequency lower than 3 Ghz

Thank you so much. I did a full CPU report and didn't see any PL1 or PL2. My HWInfo64 looks different than yours. I looked in System Summary and Sensor Status and didn't see any PL1 or PL2. I'll do the sync all cores and 50 and see if that increases score and watch temps. Okay reran temp...

Okay ran Cinebench and CPU was 2873 points. Temps peeked at 89c but didn't climb above that I could tell. The overclocking is still doing a lot on its own so I need to figure out how to manually overclock and work from there. Currently seeing ratio down as low as x8 all the way up to x50 so...

Thank you, good thought on that. I did verify the GPU temp was around 24c idle so I think that is good, but not 100% sure. It did get to roughly 28-31ish?? c for Shadow of the tomb raider getting to open screen with max settings.

Thank you very much. I hope soo too. I think I need to start with a set voltage and frequency. I have it on auto and xmp 2 for another test, but as it auto adjust the temps can go very far up and this is when just sitting in windows with nothing running. Thank you very much for the links...

Also started thinking about the cpu in and out and triple checked, but I believe I'm good based off this. I haven't change the jet plate. EK-IM-3831109818930.pdf (ekwb.com) Also, not sure if it is accurate and I know I didn't set this up correctly, but the bitspower flow meter. I didn't add...

The room temp is roughly 73f. I did read the in and out on the cpu block. Good suggestion though. Maybe you can tell something I’m missing from the picture. Hoping 😀 Here is the url: View: https://imgur.com/XSRtJ4V

Hi everyone looking for advice. I just built a 3 360 rad, 10 static pressure fan custom hardline loop cooling gpu and cpu with a d5 200 pump. It is running near 88c most of the time w/o even gaming pushing it. I see Asus AI lower cpu voltage and frequency to reduce the temps. I have the fans...
