[SOLVED] PNY 2080 ti, cpu 360 aio

[Blastphemy]

Hey everyone. My setup is as follows:
- Lian li o11 d
-i9 10900k
-pny 2080ti blower
64 gb gskill trident z, 3600 mhz
Currently have the 360 mm aio top mounted with 6 noctua nf-p12 in a push pull config set to exhaust, and 3 corsair QL on the side mounted as intake. In games like mw warzone on max settings rtx on, my gpu temp varries from 45 to 65 c and my cpu from 50 to 65 c. I ran cinebench and my cpu capped at 82C. Are those good temps? The gpu is mounted horizontally. Would it be beneficial to move 3 of the noctua fans on the bottom as intake, and change the side fans to exhaust? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I did buy the pc from cyberpower pc, and added some of the parts myself, like all the fans the cable combs, the ram, rerouted some of the wiring. It ended up being cheaper than if ordering the parts separately.

👍

I ran cinebench and my cpu capped at 82C.

Cinebench isn't a proper cooler thermal stability stress test; the load fluctuates too much. Cinebench is for Vcore stress testing.
Prime95, Small FFT, all AVX options off, is a proper cooler thermal stability stress test; the load is high and steady.

The gpu is mounted horizontally.

As it should be for blower cards, but with how blowers are designed, vertical wouldn't matter either.

Would it be beneficial to move 3 of the noctua fans on the bottom as intake, and change the side fans to exhaust?

No, the bottom is too restrictive in the O11 Dynamic to the point that installing fans there is just for show.
If you want to get any reasonable air moving through the bottom, you would have to 'brute force it' with high rpm, high static pressure fans = loud.

Replied above, in case you missed it.

I did not miss it, great reply.
So the mobo is gygabite z490 gaming x. I am trying to put the fans on pwm mode, but when I do that in bios, and I try to save and quit, my bios freezes, and I have to force boot it. Do you know what might cause this issue? The fans are on 2 different hubs, one Silverstone for the 6 noctua and a corsair node for the 3 rgb ones. They are all 4 find so it should work. But my bios freezes when I try to save and quit. Thank you in advance.

I'm thinking the issue lies with the HUBs themselves. I'm not sure from what though.

 

[Blastphemy]

So how the hubs are configured is there is 1 master fan and rest are slaves. As in 1 fac controls the rest. I do believe this might be the issue. I wonder if I remove all the slave fans and set pwm only for master, then plug them back it would work.

 

[Phaaze88]

I get the master/slave thing.
I figure you have the Noctuas plugged into the Silverstone HUB and the Corsairs in the Corsair HUB?

How about if you set one HUB on PWM and leave the other on auto, then try it the other way around, does it still freeze?

Yes, I tried it and it still freezes. How the setup is as follows: the aio pump in cpu fan, the noctua in the silverstone (the silverstone is connected to usb 2.0 on mobo and fan 1, 4 pin on mobo) and the corsair node is connected to fan 3, 4 pin on mobo, and sata, while the corsair fans themselves are connected to fan 2 on mobo. (The corsair fans have 2 cables each, 1 for the node and one for the fan).

If auto works fine, but not PWM, then there's something wrong with the signals being sent in PWM mode, but I don't know where to go from there.
I know you have to have 1 fan in the master port - if you didn't, then the mobo wouldn't receive a PWM signal from the HUB.

The 2 cables on the Corsair fans - yeah, 1 is for the LEDs, the other is for the fan.

I made sure to have 1 in the master port. Auto works fine atm, but I never seen the rpm go above 800, when the fan cap is 1700 rpm. Perhaps because it did not need it, since the temps stay low. Thank you very much for all the insight!

Yep.
