Just a note on FLIR. They typically only give an accurate reading on materials with the emissivity that they are set to. If you have things with a wide variety of emissivity in the scene, like shiny metals, they will always show hotter than their surroundings if the FLIR is set for lower emissivity. For things like the hold down, if its shiny and metal you should correlate the reading with a surface temperature. as it's likely that the reading in the FLIR is way off.

[@CrashPilot1000]

That is why there are special tapes (expensive) available to stick on the surface to get a correct reading with the FLIR. I learned that from an IgorsLab video.

[@emmata98]

yes. And that's the difference between casual and engeneering and science -type of application

Was thinking the same thing when he was talking about the frame being hot vs the corners of the IHS. The frame is probably painted black and has a likely has a higher emissivity than the IHS.

Jay, when running cinebench on our amd server hardware at work, we notice a pretty significant drop in scores if you run them consecutively. Restarting the system after each benchmark tends to make the scores more consistent.

I have played around with a sealed submerged idea and it might keep this beast cool. The pc itself with no fans, naked GPU and CPU submerged in dielectric coolent fluid. The fluid itself is cooled externally by a converted AC cooling unit. It's a closed system, no water ingress and the ability to cool sub ambient even sub zero as some dielectric fluids can flow sub zero. If the AC unit can provide north of 1000W cooling you should be good.

[@commanderoof4578]

Depends on which one someone goes with cus of how the CCD's are done You have 4 CCD and 8 CCD sku's and the 8 CCD ones The 8 CCD ones are easier to cool due to higher CPU silicon to IHS contact increasing heat to IHS transfer and because it spreads other more IHS it makes it easier to move heat from IHS to cooler

[@WayStedYou]

It seems like letting it pull 500 to 550w would be the best balance for this to get extra performance without overheating everything

[@g45h96]

More thermal mass is actually a detriment for overall heat *transfer*. The extra thermal mass can help prevent quick spikes depending on the specific heat of the medium used, but overall the larger mass to surface area ratio brings efficiency down. It's the reason why the thicker ihs on the 7000 series ryzen impeded heat transfer. Tldr; thinner plates are better. The thinner the thermal paste, the better. The thinner the ihs is, the better.

The two 420mm rads in that system have a maximum theoretical cooling capacity of around 750W each. It is crazy to me that this loop was reaching 85C or higher with nearly double the "required" cooling capacity for CPU. These new Threadripper CPU's are crazy when overclocked.

[@commanderoof4578]

I on the other hand surprised the temperature is that low Which such a large IHS and cooler base plate its rather easy to not have equal pressure across the whole thing not spreading the paste properly The theoretical and the actual are different for example 400w cooling capacity keeping a CPU at 76c being upped to 800w of cooling capacity might see that same CPU only drop to 72c Reason for this is heat transfer between the IHS and water is bottlenecked by the thermal paste, with liquid metal those same numbers would be more like 70c and drop to 64c probably high-balling there

[@ms3862]

I haven't seen anyone produce meaningful water cooled numbers yet. Could be new blocks are needed or Liquid Metal or something else, but the numbers Jay got here can be done with air coolers water is not giving lower temps

[@DMFP42]

It's more about maintaining temps, with the higher core count CPUs. My 5950x with PBO set to Auto, maxes out at 78 - 84*C, but doesn't throttle due to temperature. Even with my 3090 in the loop, my coolant stays 5 - 7 degrees over ambient. With a rated 2100W worth of heat dissipation, according to the Hardware Labs specs.

[@JohnFinch-e9j]

its not about radiator theoretical capacity. Cooling is limited by the CPU IHS + the Cooler. the fact there is a temp difference shows the bigger block coverage and bigger rads shows the time to saturate the cooling takes longer but it still gets to 93/95 eventually because the limiting factor is the CPU IHS. Pulling 600W in a small surface area of a cpu is the issue. If the cpu was 2x wider then the temps would be lower but they will still creep. Extra rads only means that time to saturate is longer. Even EK say a wattage rating per radiator doesnt make sense. what he showed quite clearly is that there is a benefit from aio to custom loop. the power density of cpu and gpus with the die size is whats the issue, youre never going to see like 70c all core on a cpu like this at 600W.

[@phantomflame0658]

It's partly because one rad is intaking the heated up air from the one below so it's not running at full efficiency
