Well, I've switched fans around. I don't think it differs that much. CPU temp rose 1C but so did the ambient temp as compared to when they were pushing air out.

I guess these are the lowest temps I can get with these slim fans.
Thanks for your help everyone!

Now lets see if I can get to 4.5 GHz

Did you just switch the top rad fans or all of your case fans to match the air direction?

[Edit]
I've got a machine with a i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz with 1.192 vCore. It just has a TRUE 120 HSF with a single 120mm fan on it and never goes above 55C. That is inside a case where there are also two GTX 570s producing heat at full load.

If you have a 360mm radiator cooling nothing but an i7 930 @ 3.0GHz with 1.192 vCore, you should have better temps.

I have rear 120 and side 200mm fan pushing air out. Only the front intake is still an air intake.
I also thought I'd get better temps with this setup, but I can't see what's wrong.
Unless I mounted the CPU block wrong again... But it's on so tight that it even bends the mobo a little, so it can't be the contact. (I read somewhere that the heatkiller blocks need to be really tight)

If you're up for trying, flip the front fans around as well and see if that makes any difference. Basically, you are trying to compensate for having a single set of thin fans across your rad. Most people have two sets of high pressure 25mm fans on a radiator in a push/pull configuration. Those that use only push or pull look for more powerful and larger fans (such as high pressure 25mm or 38mm).

If you have some extra 25mm fans laying around, you may try setting them on top the rad pushing down to see how much that helps. Those Yate Loon fans you're using have a static pressure of 0.8mmH2O: not exactly great.

Is there any chance you could take a picture of your case so we can see how the 360 rad and water loop is setup?


I also have to ask again to be absolutely sure: you double checked that there was no plastic over the water block base when you cleaned off the last TIM?

Perhaps try with no case fans and just your rad fans.

I turned all of the other fans down on my casefan to test (They don't stop but they're barely functional) but that didn't change anything...

Well that was more work than I expected, but the front fan is turned around as well now. Still seeing an average of 35C idle though.

Unfortunately I have no extra fans around. This pc was my first ever built, so I have no leftover parts. Actually, I did put the side 200mm fan on top, when they were still in pull but that didn't help either. (Just checked and saw why: they have a static pressure of 0.595 mm H2O...)

When I reseated the CPU block i scratched my nail around the edge of the baseplate, to see if there was any plastix cover, but it gave me nothing.

Here are some pics. I hope they're clear enough.





Oh yes: The 360 rad is too long for my case (HAF 922). Don't worry, I've cut out the top so it gets air!

Idle temps don't matter much; what was it at full load?

Also.. when at full load, if you put you hand on the radiator fins, are they hot?

You're supposed to take the film off, otherwise you'd be in trouble.

No, not at all. They're almost as cool as the air that's passing. The barbs of both rad and CPU block are a bit warm though. Can't call it hot.
And this with a CPU temp of 54C with 25C ambient

I know, but there's no film.
