H80i problems...

Go to solution Solved by Enderman,

I clean the Rad regularly, and no, I haven't replaced the stock thermal paste.

try doing that first before replacing the cooler

some MX-4 or NT-H1 can make a big difference

I've had my H80i for a year-and-a-half now. The blue LED doesn't work anymore on the pump, and the rubber hose clamps they used have disintegrated. Temps were great when I first got it, ~29c idle and ~50c under full load. Now the CPU (i5 3570k 3.4Ghz) idles around 40c and when I'm gaming it sits at 80c! The fans are always ramped up to keep the temps down and I can even hear it with headphones on! The pump RPM is normal (2179). But if their is no easy fix for this I'm just going to buy a good mid-range air cooler.

have you cleaned the dust out of the radiator?

have you replaced the stock thermal paste since you first installed it?
