  • 360 rad for cpu only
  • fans are set to the lowest speed for low noise (GT-AP 15s running at 800 rpm)
If I continue running the fans at low rpm, will coolant temps reach 60C? Should I buy XSPC tubing in my situation?
Sounds like you've got some other issues to take care of first. I'm running the same cpu at the same speed with more vcore under a 240 rad and my temps on load are never more than 68C. I'd recommend remounting your block because those temps are quite high for your setup.

Ambient's are around ~23-25C. I know my load temps are pretty crappy but I run the fans speeds low because I enjoy the low noise and I enabled LLC to keep my overclock stable which further increased load temps by 5-6C). Under load I get 84C.

A typical loop is in the 10C-15C delta range, and even if you were pretty seriously overloaded, 25C would be ridiculously high for a delta. You'd need an ambient of 35C (or 95F) in order to hit 60C coolant on an extremely overloaded loop, which yours doesn't look like.

If I ever added a gpu to this loop, would it by overloaded if I continue keeping the rad fans at such a low RPM?

The thing is, turning LLC on increases my load temps by 5-6C and I also keep my rad fans at their lowest settings because I like the low noise. If I'd max my fans and turn LLC off temps would be around 68-70C, similar to yours.

It depends how much rad you have to begin with and what your fans are running at, but in general its pretty hard to achieve a 25C delta. You would have to have minimal flow, a TON of heat and extremely inadequate rads.

A single 360 for a CPU + 2 GPUs, while probably being too much for the rad, would most likely not see 25C deltas unless you had extremely low speed fans. This would be with everything overclocked as well.

Example below of rads with low speeds at a 25C ambient with a 400watt load.

Speaking of your CPU temps, have you tried remounting the block? They seem far higher than they should be, even with your fans at 800rpm.

I've never remounted my block; it was my first time setting up a loop and I had very little experience, so taking the entire loop apart and remounting my block would have been a pain in the ass, which is why I'm actually thinking about re-doing my loop and getting a ton of quick-disconnects to make maintenance and trouble shooting a lot easier.

I've had my loop for a year and a half and I haven't taken it apart and cleaned it yet. I drained it once and I couldn't even drain all the water out because of no quick disconnects.

I'm thinking of buying 6 male QDC's and 6 female QDCs so I can take each component out and clean them separately. Is this overkill?

I just maxed out my fans and after 15 minutes of Prime, I'm getting 68C.

If I also disabled LLC I'd probably be getting roughly 63-64C. Ambient's are ~23-25C

I'm running LLC as well, your temps still seem high

edit: I forgot that you have a 240 rad, my bad.

^This

Same chip, higher settings, and much lower temps as well.

84C under full load
i7 920 @ 4.2Ghz, HT ON, 1.29Vcore with LLC on

My i7 920 got 4GHz with 1.325v with HT ON and LLC on max. 72C load with IBT on my RX360 and Raystorm. To compare my Noctua D14 on same processor at same settings got about 85C. I set it to 1.4v just to test temps, and it was only about 80C, so not a very big difference on water with a large voltage increase, whereas on the D14 it would of been 100C+ most likely.

Seems like you are getting my D14 performance at a lower voltage, and your on water. You might just have a hot batch, doesn't mean something is wrong. At least you can get 4.2GHz on your 920, mine wouldn't go to 4.1GHz no matter the voltages.
