Question new liquid cooler high temeprature

[hardcore_gamer29]

I just installed NZXT X73 on i9 10900k but temperature still going till 100 in OOCT test and bad luck that deepcool castle ex was same so there is no use of upgrading it? my money is wasted?

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

all good or not?

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

in this same game temeprature now goes till 74 and this was never the case with old deepccol ex 360 . what a waste of money

Do the temps go to 100 immediately when you start the test or does it take some time? Is the CPU throttling during the test? What speeds are you running your fans and pump? Are you overclocking the CPU?

yes, immediately goes 99 and no overclocking and same was with my old deepcool ex360. i wasted 15000 rupees

Is this a new symptom? Did the deep cool unit ever keep the temps down? What are the fan and pump speeds?

the same was with old cooler deepcool castle ex 360mm what should i do

deepcool kept temperatures below 77 in occt for first 8 months when my pc was new

Remove the water block and see if there is any clear plastic cover on the shiny copper surface. If there is, you need to remove that. Re-install it with good thermal paste application (don't over do it. Just a pea sized drop in the middle and maybe a thin circle of paste around it closer to the edges of the CPU). Make sure the screws are tight but not too tight.

Again, what are your fan and pump speeds? Have you verified that the water is moving across the block?

Nzxt approved my rma . Should i not take it

Sounds like either you have the cold plate/water pump assembly installed incorrectly, or you have the pump connected to the wrong motherboard fan/pump connector...or MAYBE it's configured incorrectly in the BIOS.
(on my mobo, if I connect the water pump to the fan/pump socket, temps shoot up to 100c almost instantly. fckn weird.)

Idle temps look fine so contact with the IHS may be OK. But there's still no indication about your pump or fan speed. Try using something like hardware info (HWinfo) to verify that your pump and fan speeds are changing under load.

In nzxt cam its all fine pump is at 2800 rpm fixed

Then where do you connect 3 pin pump connector?

RMA it. The Coolermaster Subzero is on sale now coz it works only with 10th/11th gen mobos. Get that cooler. It's perfect for your CPU.

That Masterliquid with "TEC" actually looks promising. I may actually try one for my next computer build, if I'm still alive when I am ready to do it. [Doc says I'm still fairly healthy, but I've seen too much Death during the past year.]

Not sure how long that AIO will be available. My local Amazon is selling it for less than $100. Only reason I haven't picked it up is that it doesn't support anything other than LGA1200. If you are really interested in the idea of a TEC, you should pick it up. It has a normal mode and an uncontrolled mode. It will draw up to 250W of its own power to cool the CPU to subzero temperature in uncontrolled mode but there is no guarantee that condensation won't ruin your PC. The normal mode is OK but nothing stellar. I think that's why Coolermaster/Intel abandoned the idea and didn't release a successor to it.

Does that thing use a peltier-type cooler? Those popped up in the aquarium hobby almost 20 years ago with limited success.

Yup. I would have loved to use that to tame a power hungry 12/13th gen CPU. Or Zen 3/4. Could result in some very interesting overclocks with the uncontrolled mode.

when i bought my new pc assembled in 2020 december with deepcool castle ex 360 my temperatures were fine till 8 months in occt it was max 77 bu then it shooted up like in 4 seconds after starting ooct and same is with now brand new nzxt x73. Could there be fault in any other hardware or not?
