EK Rampage VI Extreme Monoblock - CPU Temps

[jhoffberger]

Greetingsw:

Just put together a new build and I'm trying to figure out if my cpu loop is performing correctly.

relevant gear:

Rampage vi extreme
i9 7980xe - not delidded
420mm radiator
EK R6E Monoblock

Without any CPU overcloking, some cores reach 69c during prime 95 small FFT. When syncing all cores to a mere 4.0 ghz, i hit a 96c core avg. I have taken apart the loop and reseated the monoblock twice with similar results...

any help would be amazing:

First step, stop using Prime with small FFT. Use something more relative to your daily workload to stress the system. If you want to test AVX stability, use Realbench.

thanks for your response...with cinebench r15, cores reach 52c without overclocking...still seems high for my setup...

This is the temp you will get with no delidded condition.

My 7980XE would hit over 100°C with Corsair H110i (280 radiator) at 4.0GHz before delid running AIDA64 FPU stress test, but only 90°C after delidded with CoolerMaster G360 (360 radiator) at 4.5GHz.

Similar temps here until I delided.
Same monoblck and rad.*

I'm having this exact same problem. I switched from an EK supermacy evo to the EK rampage VI extreme monoblock, and while I had the thing apart, I delided and applied conductonaut liquid metal. I put everything back in, and temps went up at idle by 5c, and on cinebench they 70+, and AIDA64 cpu stress test pegs them as high as mid 80s. It was never this high before.

I took everything apart and redid everything, reapplied LM and new cryonaut inbetween the monoblock and the IHS, and now idle temps are in mid/high 40s and stress tests hit almost 90c. When I was looking at the monoblock, I saw that the part that contacts the IHS is a small circle, and the supremacy evo was a flat square, and I was wondering if there was just poor contact and parts of the IHS that weren't even touching the monoblock. Also, I was wondering if it could have been when I used the little tool included with the Der8auer delid mate X that clamps down the IHS to the die pcb, maybe that bent it in? I'm at a loss for words on this one.

I'm going to pry things apart again and reinstall my supremacy evo and see if the temps go down. If they do, then there's something wrong with this block. It sucks, because when it's set up, it freakin awesome. It looks better than any liquid block I've ever seen. Shame if it's bad.
