Cpu temp water cooling
First time with a water cooler..What is a normal cpu temp under load with a water cooler? In most games i get around 60c but in witcher 3 it goes even up to 75 sometimes..is that normal?

It's pretty warm, but not dangerous.

My temperatures never exceed 70 degrees celsius under load, and I use an air cooler.

my TITAN RTX never goes above 65c with water cooling.

you never said what GPU you have, but 75c is probably fine.

The OP is asking about CPU temps.
woops, my CPU stays at same temp too. 65 celsius or 60c idle(but still full performance mode) on i9-10900x

It depends on the cpu and cooler but, it's perfectly fine and safe temperature.

Kurumi, those temps suggest you haven't overclocked anything.... Which seems an odd choice, it kind of means your 10900X is a total waste of money and pretty slow to the point its probably holding your gpu back at stock clocks.

Seeing as my 7900X and your 10900X are nearly identical, I am pretty confident in saying, you'd of been better off with a 10900k for gaming as hell my 9900k kicks my 7900X's butt for gaming even at 4.8GHz all cores vs the 9900k at stock at 4.7GHz, let alone on 5-5.3GHz OC, if you have paid out for a custom loop (I am guessing you have if you have watercooled the titan) you should definetly oc the cpu.

I have no need to OC yet, I OC at the near-end of the products lifespans to maximize their performance and to bridge the gap for the next hardware leap. And no, 10900X stock is fine with TITAN RTX, especially with machine learning.

Yeah, fair enough, however, for gaming, only boosting 3 cores to 4.7 puts it quite away behind most high end consumer cpu's due to how old the architecture is (sadly), though, unless you have upgraded your cooling from the 240 aio, you probably won't be able to push it that far, then again, you are using 1080p, so I guess the gpu is heavily underused anyway, same as my 2080ti is when I use it at 1080p 120Hz on the TV heh.

what clc?
brand/model

make sure the pump is on a fan header or using a molex/sata adapter so its at 100% all of the time
the clc fans should be on the cpu fan header

It's normal. As with air, modern Intel and Ryzen desktop cpus could easily hit 80*C+

What did you expect from liquid cooling? Especially anything such as the cheaply made AIO-LC units.

AIO though are just for a clean looking setup. Most will never cool any better then what you'd get with a decent tower cooler that uses 120/140mm fans
