Since this video, I was able to resolve the CPU heat issue by correctly setting up my AIO. I incorrectly assumed the USB cable to the CPU block was only for RGB, and I didn't realize it gave me full control and monitoring. After installing the cable I set my AIO pump and fan curves to be much more aggressive and I can now run my CPU at full throttle without instantly hitting 100c. Lesson learned, read the manual.
Hey thomas, thanks for the video its nice and easy to follow. I played around with that setup for a bit and noticed that when i run the gpu stresstest, that the power graph of the gpu quickly reaches the maximum and turns yellow. What does that tell me?
@@fzudemd6770 that is nothing to worry about, that just means that your GPU is using all the power available. How many watts does the chart say your video card is using? And what video card do you have?
@@fzudemd6770 do you have your power limit raised? Looks like your TDP is 250w/260w depending on the model. It's not a problem to use more power, that's just a lot of power for that card.

Glad to hear it helped.
Which power graph are you referring too? Afterburner or GPU-Z?
And what is the power graph labeled specifically?
@@thomaslee7684
The graph labeled ''Power, W'' in afterburnder👍

@@thomaslee7684 Ahh okay thats good to know, i've got a 2080ti and it says its using 335 w max.
