amd water cool build problems (non-custom) urgent! help

[aaronwolfy]

hey all i need a little help with my pc, long story short i upgraded from a a8-6600k apu to a amd athlon 860k and i bought a cooler master seidon 120v rev.2 so that i could start overclocking but noticed running at my temps were between 70-78oc (Celsius) of course this doesnt look right so after putting the fan to full speed and the pump to full pelt the temps only went down and hung between 50-60, it would slowly decline then suddenly bounce up to the max temp it was before, and when in the bios (msi click bios 4) the cpu temp was only a 38 and did not budge for 20 minuets (i really sat and watched to see) any advice would be so much help, i have already reseated the water block with fresh thermal paste after cleaning it of course.

Make sure cooler is seated/mounted properly and or re-apply new thermal compound

Try looking up some benchmarks of the cooler and chip, compare them to what you are getting.

That's really bad. I Sounds like pump isnt pumping. Try removing it then giving it a shake could just be some factory sludge stuck. Check if one side is really hot and the other feels "ambient". These are like bad air temps although I have never used this CPU.

Maybe you got one of those water blocks with nothing inside. Like they completely forgot to fill it before sending it off.
