Insufficient heat dissapation?
I was tinkering with my loop the other day, and was I was testing out the temperatures. It seems like my i7 920's OC to 3.7 at 1.25v during idle increased my GPU idle temp by about 10C, and the temperature was around 70-80C under prime for my CPU. CPU underload, the idle temp of GPU easily rises another 4-5C.
It seems like my loop is having issues keeping my CPU and GPU cool. I used to have a DD single core TDX, and it cools my CPU around the same temps as my current block (I am using a HK 3.0 right now)
I have reseated the block, and it seems fine. Is the possible reason why my loop is cooling for poorly? I have already manually bled the system or air bubbles for several hours, there doesn't seem to be anymore air bubbles around no matter how much i tilt the system.
My GPU is a GTX480, and the loop is cooled by a RX240, alphacool slim 120mm rad, DD blackIce 120mm rad.
