Wraith Prism Cooler or Corsair Hydro H110i

[tervok]

hey tech wizards,
im building a new rig and the CPU im getting (Ryzen 7 2700X) is comeing with the wraith prism but i have a Corsair Hydro H110i from my old rig just wondering which one would provide better cooling, and a side note if the prism is better would there be a way of useing the Corsair Hydro H110i with the GTX 1080 Ti?

Thanks in advance

That Wraith cooler is enough for standard use and is very good for OEM air cooler but Corsair Hydro H110i would be much better for overclocking. Just got to make sure you have correct mount for AM4. It's a closed loop CPU cooler so it wouldn't fit on any GPU.

hello again, so iv built the rig with the hydro and the corsair link is saying the CPU is at 85 - 87 C is that normal?

 

[CountMike]

No, it's way too high, check pump speed.

 

[tervok]

it doesnt have one on the link, i think i know whats happened one second

 

[tervok]

nope what i thought it was, wasnt it, its not giveing me any info on the pump, have just duble cheaked it was plugged in and it is

 

[tervok]

ok so made some progress, as it turned out the cable connecting the pump to the usb header was nackered so currently got a cable just plugged in to the usb on the back pannel, anyway, pump is at 2320 - 2330 rpm but heres the odd bit iCUE is saying the temp is 31.1, link is saying 82 -86

(geussing one is the temp of the pump and the other is the CPU)

 

[tervok]

ok now very confuzed, as iv downloaded HWiNFO64 to give me some sensor readings and its saying the CPU is at 30c and CPUID HWMonitor is saying 43

 

[CountMike]

Check with HW Info https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

 

[tervok]

its saying 53

 

[CountMike]

(tdie) at idle ?

 

[tervok]

sorry that was tctl, 43 from tdie

 

[CountMike]

That's not as bad, should be able to count on about 10 - 15c above ambient temperature. I'm idling at 31c right now.

 

[tervok]

awsome, just annoying that the fans are at full speed but can adjust them manualy, bit concerned thou as the pc did just shut down instanly while i was cheaking the sensors

 

[CountMike]

Which MB do you have ? That Corsair Link SW is not very reliable. I've heard some bad stories about it.

 

[tervok]

ROG crosshair VII hero.

 

[CountMike]

That and that cooler should tame 2700x, no problem I have single rad 140 cooler and never seen more than 75c at 4.25GHz. I'm still thinking that your pump is not running at adequate speed.

 

[tervok]

ah ok, so panic over, just corsair software is borked and lieing, at least thats something, how would i go about uping the pump speed?

 

[CountMike]

Should be able to adjust thru Link or BIOS if it's connected to AIO_PUMP header.

 

[tervok]

annoyingly link is saying that the divice is controled through iQUE and iQUE has no options for the pump only the fans

 

[tervok]

will look in the bios one moment .... just remembered my h110i GT doesnt have a connector for the AIO_pump header, it never did (incase you thought id removed it or something)
