AIO Cooler liquid temps too high? (NZXT Kraken x52)

[XxBahamutGodxX]

I was playing Overwatch at Ultra settings and I noticed when I looked at the CAM software for the Kraken, the liquid temp was at 46c. Is this too high? The tubes going from the block and the radiator is about 2cm above the GPU, is it this hot because it's that close to the GPU backplate? The GPU was at around 70c. Liquid temps like that won't evaporate the liquid right?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the CPU temps go around 55-62 when playing

CPU and GPU (if it matters):
6700k
ASUS 1080 Ti Strix

"Liquid temps like that won't evaporate the liquid right?"

Of course not.

Those temps are perfectly fine for a high workload environment.

Liquid temps in AIO coolers are not the same thing as cpu temps. In the Cam settings is a switch that'll change that reading from liquid to cpu. Intel cpu's especially, you'll notice temps fluctuate radically and very quickly, liquid temps take a good ½ an hour of constant use to equalize and level off.
And no, at 46°C, you are a long way off from that liquid reaching boiling point.

So 46c for the liquid is a safe temperature? Thanks for the responses btw guys!

Yes, it's right where it should be for a cpu under load conditions. What you do is check averages of cpu temp vrs liquid temp if they are running pretty similar then alls good with the cooler. If you've been at load for a while and there's a big difference in liquid and cpu temps, that's when there might be an issue. If the liquid is cooler, you are overworking the cooler (running fans/pump too high, which isn't an issue at all, meaning you can turn down the fans and not suffer any temp changes). If the liquid is hotter, you aren't working the fans hard enough (meaning there might be either a pump starting to fail or fan curves set wrong etc)

I see, thanks a lot for the info!

Just want to come back to this sorry, what would be a safe temperature for the liquid? Would it be bad if it went to 50°C? May not be boiling point but it's still hot, wouldn't begin to heat the tubes right?

Thanks!

One tube gets hot anyway, that'll be the one that comes from the pump to the rad carrying hotter liquid. Boiling point is well over 100°C, so there's no issues with 50°C at all. Your cpu will shut itself down long before you'll ever have to worry about liquid temps.
