So i have a Thermaltake water 3.0 360mm radiator AIO cpu cooler (i know.. entry level peasant water cooling solution) i have my i5 7600k oc'd to 5.0ghz @ 1.31vcore. When i initially did this build and OC, my temps didn't go past 68c. Period. Stressed to the max with all cores @ 5.0 all the time. I initially posted pics of my build and people were ragging on me about the orientation of my cooler shown in this pic. About how my block wasn't facing right side up. Ill admit it bothered me a bit as well. So i changed the orientation 90 degrees to make the lines on the bottom and the writing facing the right way. After this change i noticed my temps are going up to around 78c max now. A 10 degree difference. I have since changed the orientation to every way possible. Still with the same results. While i know 78c is relatively safe. I want my temps back around 68-70c. Any suggestions? Im relatively new to water cooling but i have tried tapping the block to jar any air bubbles and i have air dusted the radiator fins. Fan curve in this time hasn't changed. Should I RMA this unit? Or go to a custom loop? What kind of temp difference will i see going from a 360 aio to a 360 custom loop? Sorry for the novel. But this bothers me. Also air temp in the room is unchanged.
