Guess so but whats bothering me is the idle temp 45-50 deg while the water temp is just roughly 30-34 deg. Not sure if its normal
water cooling is different from air cooling.
Your water temperature taken from waterblock?
u prolly mean 4.8ghz oc?Need some opinion if i need to redelid my 6600k. Idle temp is @ 45-50 deg, Load temp temp @ 65-70 deg. OC to 3.8 ghz with adaptive vcore of 1.38v max. Under custom watercool with hwl sr2 480mm rads.
u prolly mean 4.8ghz oc?
check tat ur "idle" cpu usage is closer to 0-5% cpu
ur prolly closer to 50% cpu usage or higher, at ur current "idle"
5-12% cpu is using task mgr? if yes, it cud mean 20-50% single core load & maybe keep vcore & freq up and raise temps. can u dbl check using hwinfo64?Sorry i meant 4.8, idle cpu usage is roughly @ 5-12% usage. So its kinda of weird that its at 45-50 deg. I can only assume bad mounting of the ihs..

if ihs bad mounting, i presume it wud affect load temps more badly but urs look
![]()
Not even close to 50% utilize
Is 50 deg normal for idle temp under water cooling?
yeah ur individual cores are cool 26-28c![]()
Not even close to 50% utilize


just riding on this thread... is it worth delid your non-k version for the temp drop?
mostly i searched, are delidding the k versions only.![]()
