[SOLVED] Issue with setup 3 AIO Water cooling system for CPU and SLI GPU

[SkyeMei]

I have a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming WATERFORCE 8G SLI (120cm AIO cooling x2)

CPU 9700K WITH corsair100i (240cm AIO cooling) cooling

Case Antec S10

fans can be set up as listed below

front 120x3/140x2

back 120

top 140x2/120x2

Issue with set up AIO cooling CPU and SLI system

It is very hot and noise when gaming.

1st time， I put CPU cooling on top exhaust air and 2 card cooling in front panel to intake air but all hot air inside.

2nd time, CPU cooling in front 1GPU at back 2Gpu on top.



fans are 4x Corsair ML120, 2x Nzxt 120 pwm fan , 2 Gigabyte fan



To reduce noise, I have to open case for gaming....



My spare PC which is used 6700K and MSI 1070 is more quiet and cooler than this one...



Did I make some mistakes for cooling setup?

6700K: ~100w, worst case scenario stress test.
GTX 1070: 291w. I'm going to assume the Gaming X model.
= Up to 391w of waste heat to be dissipated.

9700K: ~200w, worst case scenario stress test.
2x Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming WF: Just one of these cards is 375w.
= Up to 575w(single gpu)-950w of waste heat to be dissipated.

Did you make some mistakes? IDK, you tell us...

Corsair MLs are anything but quiet - same for most AIO/CLC preinstalled fans - so I don't know what you were expecting there...

Did you personally make sure that the pumps on all 3 units are working correctly? Feel the water block, tubing, and the radiator - all should feel warm to the touch, normally.
If not, you may be dealing with a failed or clogged pump.

Did you max out the pump speed on all 3 units(if possible)? I'm not familiar with those WFs, so IDK if you can control that or not.

Those 1080s are over 3 years old... do the thermals 'run away' as soon as a load is applied to one or both of them?
If so, that could mean the thermal paste inside has run its course, dried up, and needs to be replaced.

If the above checks out fine, I'd then say that the chassis just doesn't allow enough air though to deal with all that darn heat.

Do I need to upgrade my

Do I need to upgrade PSU to1000w or more? IDE power consumption is about 80w.
All Pump is running. Temperature is only turning very HOT in Gaming. GPU radiators are burning and hot air cannot go away.
Shall we replace GPU thermal paste in certain period? Never did this job before.
Where should I allocate those 3 radiators?

Where do I mention anything about needing a new power supply? Look at your own picture. The psu is completely isolated from the problem at hand.

OK. With this, we at least know the pumps aren't clogged and the heat is traveling through to the radiators.

Shall we replace GPU thermal paste in certain period? Never did this job before.

No need to, at the moment. If the paste had dried up, the radiator wouldn't be warming up.

Where should I allocate those 3 radiators?

Nowhere. Your current chassis simply doesn't allow enough air to pass though for the level of heat those parts can put out.
That setup literally needs to be put on an open bench or open mesh chassis.
