Hi Guys,

Just an update to show where my "bottleneck" and main cause for concern is

[attachmentid=11496150]

Here you can see the loading of the CPU. The casing is a NZXT H9 Flow with the 360 radiator at the top and fans blowing out. The rear fan blows out and the bottom 3 and side 3 blow in.

[attachmentid=11496151]

Despite setting all the fans to run at 100% including the pump and radiator fans, you can see the large difference between coolant and CPU temp. I am worried I didn't install the pump properly or does anyone here have any tips to improve the cooler performance?

The CPU will slowly increase the clock speed to about 5.2 - 5.5GHz and when it reaches 95°C then the clock speeds drop to around 4.8 and then the cycle starts again. Up then down then up then down. I was hoping to slow down this cyclic behaviour by improving cooling so that it will stay at higher clock speeds longer.
At first I used the TIM that came with the AIO. Then I tried changing the mounting position by rotating it 90° so that the pipes come out from the side and not the bottom. When I did that, I switched to Cooler Master Mastergel Pro V2 as I had some left over. I am actually interested to try the PTM7950 but worried buying fake stuff. Any recomendded sources?
