I wasn't aware that these were bad, reviewers on youtube don't talk about how crap the AIO was when they reviewed this case and i never really looked into AIO as i have always used custom loops since 2007 ( Q6600 CPU) Dual D5s, and quality blocks from aquacomputer, xspc.
When i started...
I've also found that i get better results with cheaper cool master thermal paste that came with kit then Noctua NT-H1. Thermal paste from coolmaster is easier spread, noctua is thicker consistency and didnt work for me as good.
Why 12700k? Are you producing music or playback?
Coming from audiophile community, people who i know that build PCs avoid having fans. - Its all passive cooling.
Here is my little beast. Overkill for browsing Web looking at charts and YouTube?
Heres is my new Timespy score.

Here is the parts list etc, since this post below ive rerouted some of the cables for even cleaner look.

Sorted - 6400 stable in gaming increased SA voltage to1.25v, MC voltage to 1.3v.
Heat still an issue need to keep below 60c, i guess that's downside of ITX and 3080ti pulling 450w
my overwatch game keeps crashing. I think could be memory related as it seems to last little longer when default speeds are set.
I noticed there's 17c deference between Dimm 0 and Dimm 2 anyone know if this is normal.
I have fan thats blowing over ram, so not sure whats going on.
Im rookie when it comes to memory overclocking, just looking into expanding my knowledge a little.
I got G.Skill 6000 CL36 1.3v memory. Ive played around with latency and it doesn't like it at all, best ive managed to do is increase from 6000 to 6200 with bump of 1.43v to keep it stable...
Much success!!!
My temps have halfed in some games and I'm pushing 500mhz more out of the CPU.
Oh this pin from 8pin pci nearly caught me out, that could have been a shit day.
Just installed the washers. Two of Torx screws were hand loose on the motherboard !
Installed 4x M4 Nylon washers that was 1mm high. These are the results below, Washer mod i got ATH Cinebench scrore. Seems like Pcores are cooler and Ecores run hotter 2c, maybe they were actually doing...
Good news.
Just sanding down waterblock, with default vcore I am now sitting on peak 92c after Cinebench completed. This is over 10c cooler on core 5.
Not sure if I should bother with washer mod now??
Sanded down with 240 grit you can see how it was uneven one side.
Onto 2000 Grit, massive difference.
It's like a morrow now, you can see where I circled there was still little dip but ihs is far from here and it. Didn't want to loose more copper.
I might bolt it up and see temps before doing...
Haha yeah seen that. That looks same as my pc I got 3080ti suprim x, but I went with 12700k. I went to buy another 12700k to compare but none in stock.
I'm going to have a rant now. This Cool master AIO is absolute piece of shit.
Surface of the block has ridges in it, you can feel that one side is higher.
What a piece of crap. I feel like I need some 6000 grit paper.
Not sure if this is normal for AIO. My previous pc was on water and...
Arh Asus.... Can't do the washer mod. Looks like I need to go buy Torx bit.. All my tools packed since I moved house. :(
Anyways here's few pics of thermal paste on second application.
I think my first application X method was better tbh.
Yes it does have LGA1700 backplate, everything else is the same screws.
LGA Backplate looks of much lesser quality, cheaper plastic as opposed to the other one.
Just Finished Cinebench.
Before voltage offset 21610 and with - 0.110v offset I got 22332
