I removed the cold plate from the pump and noticed some light coloured particles of different sizes in the coolant (visible in the images). Also the nickel plating on the inside of the cold plate has turned black and come off in one area (visible in the images). I rinsed the cold plate under...

I don't think the radiator size is a factor in this, the temps are hitting 95 Celsius within a few seconds, I don't think the water has even had a chance to do a full circuit of the loop by that point, the water isn't heat soaked at all yet. It is the transfer of heat from heat spreader to the...

Thanks, I plan on doing this. For reference, here is an over clocker, I believe using an AiO as well: https://skatterbencher.com/2024/11/06/skatterbencher-82-ryzen-7-9800x3d-overclocked-to-5750-mhz/ He is getting much better temperatures than I am and at higher clocks.

Here's a video of the bubble:

It is a bit of a mystery, I do appreciate all the time you all spend on helping me here. The airflow in my case is good, 6 intake fans and 3 exhaust through the radiator. GPU runs cool and motherboard temps are good. Is it possible that the flow of water is restricted somehow despite the pump...

CPU doesn't hit 5200Mhz, only 5050Mhz Edit: It does hit 5200Mhz but not with all cores loaded. With all cores it hits 5050Mhz

Running OCCT for 45 minutes: I have PBO set to 5200 Mhz max. With 155w CPU package power I was hoping to hit 5200Mhz under load. I'm a bit surprised by the amount of TIM myself. It's my first Ryzen CPU (last AMD CPU was Athlon 64!) and my Intel ones would always have a noticeably lesser...

I noticed something on the pump, may be nothing. There is a small bubble, approximately 7mm across in the pump window, it doesn't seem to be moved by the flow of water, I remember when I first installed the AiO a few months ago on the Intel system that there was a small, 2mm bubble and it was...

Let's see what remounting without the nuts brings, I'll also take a photo of the TIM when I do.

I think this shows I may have an issue, they are cooling with a Noctua NH-D15 (a very strong air cooler, I know) and getting 86.7 celcius. I am guessing that the Blender CPU test is not as stressful as OCCT though, but on a 360 AiO with high CFM and static pressure fans I expected better.

I mean the nuts are not preventing mounting pressure as they are not making contact with the cooler mount screw holes, however I will remount with them off. Do you think the offset mount, potentially, can make more difference with the Ryzen 9 X3D?

Hi Vanzin, Yes, I am expecting nearly 90 celcius, I am hitting Tmax though and have lower clock rates with PBO enabled.

I will take a picture of the imprint, though I won't be able to today. The pump is running at just over 2500 rpm according to tachometer readings in HWinfo and in Fan Control v209. I am using the nuts, but they are not "getting in the way" of anything. I understand there are differences to...

I have recently switched from i7 12700k (lapped heat spreader and a contact frame) to 9800X3D and I don't think the AiO is performing on the new CPU as it should. The Aurora fans have been replaced with Lian Li TL fans that have higher static pressure and airflow than the Aurora fans. I was...
