How accurate is the nvidia temperature reporting?

[Ferzerp]

I asked because I just installed water cooling and....

I haven't seen it above 32C. Ambient is 22-23C in here. I didn't realize temps would be that low.

Stop trying to turn me on, it's inappropriate in the technical forums.

Hah! I just wish the CPU was as receptive to the water block as the GPU, but... It's all about the surface area, and the GPU die is massive in comparison.

Hehe, at temps that low the sensors are probably less accurate than at more normal operating temps. However you can rest assured the GPU is well cooled and then some ^^

I had snagged some Overtime a week or so back, and I couldn't get me an i7 8700k

So I ordered my first full custom loop from EKWB. I hope to have similar results to yours!

How is the noise, and what setup did you do?

Yeah those temps are pretty low, but not absurdly so.

I think I peak at around 36ish running a 480 and thick 360 rad.

What radiator/fan config are you using?

Very nice.....

The noise is pretty low. The pump needs to stay over 60% or it makes a noise I can hear. It's all EKWB stuff (except the fans). I need to better tune my fan profiles (and find exactly which fans it is that I can hear).

edit: once I put the water block on, I could hear some coil whine that I didn't notice in my old system. I assume it is because I couldn't hear it over the fans before and now I can.
