so i am fairly new to pcs and this is my first custom built pc, i knew wanted to watercool my gpu eventually but didnt have enough when i purchases the card to get one with a waterblock already installed, fine, its just swapping paste and pads later on right? wrong
i dont have a picture of it but i ran 3d mark while stock cooled and got a score of just under 18000, now 3d mark thermal throttles during the tests, i cap at about 1300 instead of the stock 1900 mhz and 3d mark gives me a score of zero because of this.
im using the alphacool eisbaer 2 AIO with a 360ml rad (can be found at this link)
Kritical pads makes precut and sized thermal pads to the manufacturers specs at a supposed 20 w/mk. and i have thermal grizzly thermal paste at 12.3 w/mk for the gpu die
im having issues showing a pic of my hwmonitor but my temps at idle are 32-35C and under any load they jump to at least 80C, and while gaming they sit steadily at 92C topping of at a max of 94.8C and a hotspot of 106.8C
these were recorded during a rainbow 6 siege session, previously i would sit around MAYBE 80C max on the stock cooler
memory temps cap at 70C and i have no issues with those, so my problem has to do with my gpu die
i used a X application and minor dot in the center for the application of the thermal paste
