Hi guys i'm new here. I've recently bought EVGA CLC 280mm and i have some questions. How do I set the pump RPM to automatic? And does evga flow control has to be opened or minimized all the time? It is preventing my pc to go on sleep mode. And I'm getting some high temps playing overwatch, one of the 6700k cores is going 60ºC, almost like my hyper 412pwm, it's almost summer here in Brazil but, is it normal?

    Their support seems non-existent but I personally don't think you need it open if all you need is everything on auto. I think it's just used if you want the custom settings applied because my machine runs fine under Linux without it.
     
    60 degrees sounds pretty poor. Might depend on what ambient temps you have or how hard it's OC'd but mine sits under 40 for most games. 60 was the kinda temps I was getting on my broken H110i. Never realized that was bad until I discovered it was broken from the get go for over a year lol. Not buying another corsa*r product again after that + headphones + mouse all broke. Same poor quality as r*zer. Ok maybe not that bad.
     
    Evga stuff seems tight though, try redo your paste.

    Gaming is staying around 50ºC with some peaks at 60ºC, i think here since idle temps are around 33ºC.

    You would be surprised how much of it can be mitigated with proper ventilation and clean fans too. Especially if you have all the bells and whistles enabled (XMP, OC etc.)
     
    Set your rig up so that only outside air (ambient) is forced onto your radiator. Preferably front mounted with your top and back fans exhausting hot air. Don't worry about your GPU taking an extra 10 degrees or so, they can run hotter. And buy a fan controller so you can ramp up exhaust while gaming.

    Unfortunately my case only support 280mm radiators on top, so i don't know what's best fan configuration.

    I saw a video that showed you can expect higher temps in that configuration as the RAD will suck are from the GPU.  Unless you have a blower type GPU that vents outside the case.  I suppose every RIG is unique, so most probably not going to be for every config.

    CLC 208 is set up to push air through and thus set up for top case mounting. You don't need to change the fans. I had to switch my fans around because I put it in the front of my case and it was pushing hot air out when I needed air coming in.

    I haven't had the software open other then when I need to change a setting. I read that it saves the changes to firmware which makes sense since you would need the pump monitoring temps even before you get into Windows.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    It just goes to show that buying a CLC is only half the solution. Making sure you get a decent case is the other :)
