Enzotech Sappire Rev A. Too Hot?

473 Views 12 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Klue22
Okay just completed my loop last night the order is

-MCP 350,
-Swiftech MCR 320
-Enzotech Sapphire Rev A
-swiftech MCW60
-swiftech MCW60

all connected with 1/2 inch barbs and 7/16 inch tubing. Temps stay nice and chilly on GPUs during crysis (~45 degrees). However when I hit the CPU with prime the temps shoot up to ~62-63 degrees (realtemp). Is this too high? would reapplying arctic silver help? I followed the directions on their website for the core i7 so idk. Should I reapply it using the pea method? I had decent success with that on my air cooler.
I'm at a loss........


btw. does anyone know why their is a ~6 degree difference between rivatuner and precision?

+1 for helpful posts...

the order should be res > pump > rad > cpu > res.
you should also check out this and can try out ther voltages and etc.

hope this helps
forgot to mention the res is a DDC top for the swiftech. (XSPC dual 5 1/2 in bay res).
if you have Gpu and cpu in one loop it is acceptable cause cpu cause great warmness and gpu does


i dont know if you have it in 1 loop cause you did not say anything about it

and remember Pching said : " The order should be res > pump > rad > cpu > res."

gah sorry, keep forgetting, everything is in a single loop with the CPU first (directly after RAD) then the loop goes through both GPUs and back to the res

that is quite acceptable if you have gpu's but remember if you buy an other rad and let that be cpu only you will run much cooler and so does the gpu's!

and you only need to be a 240 rad for cpu so it goes like this

res>pump>rad360>cpu>rad240>gpu>gpu>res

or 2x120 and the existing 360 rad...

What kind of fans did you use on your rad?
still 45 is pretty cold for both GPUs running full bore, which should put out more heat than a single i7 at full, so how come the i7 temps are a lot higher even when the GPUs are idling?
using 3x Scythe Gentle Typhoons @ 1450 rpm

you overclocked??? so yeah duhh they would idle at 30 if you have nice chip so not it idles 40 in single loop so it is acceptable

okay just to clarify:
Idle temps (all are approximate)

GPUs ~mid 30s
CPU ~upper 30s Speedstep enabled

CPU Full Load: ~62

Both GPUs Full Load ~45
Well, you have 2 GPU's and a i7 @ 4.0 with HT on in a single loop. Yeah I would say your temps are ok.

Okay I just read that orientation was important for my CPU block, how much difference in temps would I see if I changed the output nozzle from bottom left to top right?

basically what I'm saying is I think I have the block upside down....=/

nvm already reversed it
