Hello,

I recently purchased a Bitspower Summit M Pro for my 13700k build.

I had to get it finished that day, so I had to work with what I got in the moment.

Two things, first, my package was missing the LGA1700 back plate thing. The majority of the mounting hardware was there except the backplate. So, I had to improvise a bit with plastic washers, and had really horrible time mounting the block.

Second, I have never seen this before, but my CPU contact plate on the Summit (where the plate contacts the CPU IHS) wasn't mirror smooth like in pictures ******. It had a machining pattern of extremely shallow grooves where it contacts the IHS. Being in a rush, I waved it off as some new contact style or something (and for some reason did not take a picture of it).

I know 13th gen is a bit of a hard chip to cool, but my temperature have been pretty poor for an open water-cooling loop (CPU only) from my experiences in the past. D5 pump, XSPC Photon 170 Reservoir, XSPC 360mm Raystorm v3 Radiator, 3x Noctua Industrial PPC fans 3000rpm with plenty of airflow, and KPX thermal paste. At around a 270 watt load in something like Blender Benchmark, the temps are peaking 90c on the hottest cores. Stock settings on the 13700k & Asrock z790 Tachi (no overclock, only XMP).

If somebody could send me a picture of what the bottom contact cold plate is supposed to look like, I could plan next steps, like redoing the mount (get the missing backplate), or pulling it off for a RMA of some kind (if it is confirmed defective).

I do not discount user error here, it’s just been impossible to find an actual picture of the bottom cold plate from a user, for this block, except from one source (Techpowerup review). The cold plate did not look like mine.

Any Help Is Appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

Sorry to hear that.
Would you send the receipt and photos to the following email address?
If you still have the box of the CPU water block,
Please offer us a photo of the label too, thank you.

I believe I saw the same thing as the original poster in regards to the machined finish on my block when replacing the included thermal paste layer on the block included with the Titan 2.0 case.  I do not have pictures but am keen to see if I am experiencing the same phenomenon.  I have a 13900K and  I too am seeing higher than expected thermals.  My previous build used an 360mm Corsair AIO and I was able to dissipate 330w before thermal throttling and now I thermal throttle below 300w CPU draw.

Hi Johny,

What's the temperature around the CPU? And the temperature of the water?
In our test of TITAN 2.0, we are able to dissipate 360w,  and the water is about 45C.
Would you like to check about the contact of your CPU water block?

Answer 3

I have the same problem with my new Bitspower CPU Block Summit M Pro - Crystal (AMD ver.).

Here is a picture:

Answer 5

I just received my Summit M Pro block today and here is the very rough finish to the cold plate.  When I went to clean the surface with my usual alcohol swabs, the surface was rough enough that it shredded the swab and left fibers all over the coldplate.  I had to clean it off and start over with a different method of cleaning the block before mounting.  Can someone confirm whether this is what this block should look like from a finish perspective?

Dear All,

The copper base of the Summit M Pro block is not flat mirrored.
That's special for the 12th CPU.
It has a better function than the flat mirrored base.

BISP 8171 Phase 3 Payment Districts process of distributing the payment has been started by PISP and this payment is going to be redistributed in a few days. The process of distributing the payment will be started in June 2025 and this payment will be delivered to those who are poor and deserving. Government of Pakistan, through BISP, has officially launched the third and final phase of the 8171 payment distribution for 2025. This phase is particularly important for thousands of families who were left out in the earlier two rounds of payment. Starting from June 2025, BISP is distributing Rs. 13,500 to all eligible families across 27 newly added districts. If you have not yet received your installment this year, your district might be included in this final list.

Answer 7

Sounds like you had a rough time with that Bitspower Summit M Pro install — missing the LGA1700 backplate and dealing with a non-mirror cold plate would definitely impact temps. Poor contact could easily explain why your 13700K is hitting 90°C even with strong cooling hardware. Hopefully, you can get the proper backplate and remount to see if it improves performance. Kind of like how malls in Singapore are well-planned for smooth customer flow, proper mounting hardware ensures your cooling setup runs efficiently.

Under the e-taxi scheme by Maryam Nawaz, in the first phase, one electric vehicle will be given on interest-free installments. Through this project, the distribution process will be made clean and transparent. This process is being done by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. Under this scheme, employment will be provided to the youth. A poverty alleviation program has been launched. This is part of the wider e-taxi program 2025 of Punjab Chief Minister Nareem Nawaz.

In which an attempt has been made to phase out traditional taxis based on Hindustani and replace them with environmentally friendly alternatives. Under the e-taxi scheme by Maryam Nawaz, employment will be provided to people. This program will include those who are poor and those who have recently completed their degrees.

CM Punjab E Taxi Scheme Apply ******
Maryam Nawaz has launched a taxi Scheme, which has an ****** application process. CM Punjab is ensuring smooth and informed interaction with the taxi scheme. Check out the detailed information here.

Here you are being told how to get the details at one place. The scheme was announced in January 2025. Taxi drivers and transportation service providers have been asked to provide 100 percent electric taxis at low prices.

The aim of the Chief Minister Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2025 is to provide employment especially to the youth and promote a modern and sustainable transportation system in Punjab. The program, which will start with about 1100 taxis in Lahore, will also target other cities like Faisalabad, Multan and Rawalpindi and people from these cities will also be selected and taxis will be provided to them without interest.

Why the Green E-Taxi Program is Important
The CM Punjab Green E-Taxi Program addresses multiple challenges simultaneously rising pollution levels, increasing fuel prices, and outdated public transport systems. Electric vehicles offer zero-emission performance, lower maintenance costs, and a quieter driving experience, making them an ideal choice for a growing city like Lahore. The program’s broader vision includes promoting electric vehicle manufacturing and support services within the province, leading to new economic opportunities.
