HELP! 4770k HOT with custom liquid cooling (after delidding too)

[waydizzle]

Set up:
4770k CPU
Asus Maximus VI Formula
EVGA SuperClocked 770
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB DDR 2400
RM850 PSU
XSPC RayStorm CPU block
EK Geforce GTX 770 GPU block
1/2" Rigid acrylic tubing
1 Alphacool VPP655 pump
1 XSPC AX240 Dual 120mm
1 Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper Slim Profile Dual 120mm Radiator

My set up:

I have the pump going to top radiator#1 (push) down to CPU -> GPU -> mobo -> radiator #2 (push/pull)-> resev -> pump.

My question is, is there something wrong with my setup? because the temperature doesn't seem to be right compare to my other PC i5 2500k @ 4.7ghz with just H80i cooling. (that one never see pass 70C under full load for hours with prime) Granted, i understand haswell puts out more heat...

i'm running in the low 40s at idle @4.3 GHZ/1.25 Vcore. Under 100% load i'm sitting at 90s range. I would understand if it was on air, but i'm running water cool. Not to mention I also delidded the CPU as well. The TIM i used was AC5. I've already re seated my IHS and the CPU block too.. I seriously did not noticed any big temperature difference before/after delidding the CPU. almost makes me regret on doing so.

Any suggestions are welcome. I'm just running out of ideas why it's sitting at such a high temp even with pretty decent water cooling system.

It looks like your CPU water block may not be making good contact. I suggest you remove, clean, and reinstall. Also make sure you have sufficient airflow inside your case.

thank you for the fast replay. I've already taken out the CPU water block and cleaned it...(i took the whole thing apart, cleaned it with Distilled water) and its still the same result =/

Something I think is wrong, maybe re seat cpu block or water not going through block and rads. I have a 4670K overclock to 4.5GHz w/ 1.28Vcore and I'm only getting 61C max at gaming full load using a PH-TC14PE air cooler. 4770K will have to add ~5C because of HT.

Check to make sure your pump is a full power (at least 4) if the adjustable model

Put on some Arctic Silver 5. Don't let your dog chew it up (that happened to my first tube).
