where is Mad's build ?!
At this moment in preparation and only in my head. As i have major construction work done on my buildings foundation, there is a lot of dust and disturbance going on for the next couple of months. I also need to get some storage facility to get rid of the many boxes and random stuff that prevents me from creating enough space to do my build. More logistical probs.
Basically the motherboard came way too late. I did have plenty of time before, but don´t have now. And i need at least 2 weeks to get it right. And also the way i wanted to do my dry build will not work as planned.
So i might go straight to building my waterloop. Or use a simple aircooler on the RyZen 1800X, that will limit its perfomance. A dry build is always advised before going big on water.
And despite my careful planning for parts, i probably missed a few 90 degree fittings for the reservoir.
Only way to make sure is to do a mock up. But for that i do not want disturbance and i have way too much at the moment.
So, my project has been postponed until further notice.
I have done all the prep i need to do.
In regards to your waterloop. It does work fine. So just let it be. Check fittings and tubes for leaks or cluttering. You only need to flush your loop once every 2 years. Or once a year like others advice. Your custom loop still cools a lot better than any AIO will do.
Maybe except the new EK stuff. But that is just as expensive as a simple solution. And you have a D5.
There might be ways to optimize the airflow in your case. As this water temp is generated by the CPU alone, it is a bit on the high side. But it does prove that the CPU block is dissipating heat nicely. So the way to get lower temps is to make the cold air go quicker through the radiator. Especially with this warmer weather. I still do not think 39 degrees is very high.
