HI Guys

Just finished a build i did in my ncase m1 and had it cerokoted white.

Just wondering if anyone runnung similar setups can advise ?

I have undervaulted the 3090 and saved 100w with zero performance lost , PBO off and negative 30 , temps seems still higher than i would like or is it just me being fussy, i have always been intel man until now.

ASUS X570
5900X
3090FE WITH EKWB BLOCK
EK DDC 3.2 PUMP

Temps are as follows

Cpu Idle 42/43 - Under Load 74/75
Cpu package ( no idea what that is ) 53
Water Temp Sensor Idle 29 - Under Load 50/51
Gpu idle 28 Under Load 47

Using Dual Rads like Optimum Tech Same sort of configration , Pump is running around 2200rpm is that right or would you say slower or faster ? Trying to keep heat down but presume if its faster in a small loop less time to cool ?

Not sure if i should be alarmed i was even thinking of moving case , what's everyone else's water temps like ?

I think your temps are perfectly fine. If you can provide ambient temp that would help others to chime in as well. 5x water temp under load is a bit high for my taste but it's still a long way from the 60C hard limit.

Ambiant is always around 20/21 at the moment.

Dont want to be stressing anything also worried if i have too many 90's etc thats not helping temps ? Hard to do the FE 3090 Very limited room.

too many 90-degree adapters certainly doesn't help flow. do you have a flow meter by any chance? otherwise could just play with the pump RPM up and down to see which is the sweetspot - fast enough to move liquid through the loop but still not too noisy. then try to tweak it in tandem with your fans too - for example I'm using Noctua A12x25s in my build and at 1500 RPM the fans are still silent to me so I just set the minimum RPM to 1500 and scale up to higher water temp

Few tweeks , water is now 46/47 Gpu Still 44/47 full load.
this is much more like it.

I Dont have a flow meter , never used one either , might have a look into it however it seems to have calmed down and much better after some tweeks. I was just keen to know other members experiances.

Thanks for the help so far dude :)

Decided my attempt was poor so i ripped it to bits and redid the loop ditching almost 50% of the fittings and adding Quick Disconnects.

I watched Ali's last Ncase Video and Noticed he flipped the EK Block Upside down , I had been doing myself a harder job.

So quick Update

Cpu Idle 33/35 - Under Load 66/71
Cpu package ( no idea what that is ) 38
Water Temp Sensor Idle 25 - Under Load 46/47
Gpu idle 23/24 Under Load 47

Previous - Old Route With Lots of bends and adapters :
Cpu Idle 42/43 - Under Load 74/75
Cpu package ( no idea what that is ) 53
Water Temp Sensor Idle 29 - Under Load 50/51
Gpu idle 28 Under Load 46/47
