    Definitely planning to do that then. Maybe I'll have better luck with the second one. Really appreciate the help!

    So after messing with my computer for about an hour, I'm definitely starting to think it's just the CPU. I turned XMP off, with no improvement in temps. I ran Core Temp at startup and under load to see where the temps ended up. Here are the results: Idle (Minimum Temps) Core #0: 52 Core #1: 52 Core #2: 52 Core #3: 52 Core #4: 51 Core #5: 53 Max Load Temps (Exporting H.264 1080p video from Adobe Premiere) Core #0: 100 Core #1: 99 Core #2: 99 Core #3: 100 Core #4: 100 Core #5: 100 After giving it thought, I don't see how this could be a cooler issue. Everything is plugged in and Corsair Link is reading pump rpm. Yes the CPU is hot even at idle, but it never shuts off at idle from being too hot because it still rests in the 50-70 range. It's my understanding that, without a cooler, it would eventually shut down from being too hot, or maybe not even turn on at all. So in conclusion I think I just need to RMA the CPU. Do you disagree? Is there anything I'm missing that I should do before contacting Intel?

    Glad to hear other people are having the same issue and have found a solution (even if it's an RMA)! 1) Asus X99-A II 2) Balanced 3) Never attempted an overclock on the CPU. I set my RAM to XMP settings (so it will run at 2400) but that's the only "modding" I've done.
  4. wolfofteal
    Under the assumption that one or both of these things happen, is a cooler RMA the only solution?
  5. wolfofteal
    Okay good to know! I'm confident that I applied enough thermal paste, I checked to make sure the surface was covered. If it's not the pump, what else could I try in regards to the contact point? Would I just need to RMA the cooler at that point?
  6. wolfofteal
    I know in the past when I have touched the bottom of the rad, it has felt cool or barely warm to the touch, even when the PC is running. I haven't felt the tubes though. I will definitely check that out tonight.
  7. wolfofteal
    I can't recall from memory but I want to say that number is correct. I can verify that in a couple hours. I want to say, at most, it said 1.2 but I'm almost certain it was in the 1.078-1.1 range.
  8. wolfofteal
    Probably a good idea. I wouldn't think it's the CPU but I suppose out of the hundreds of thousands that they manufacture, some are bound to be dysfunctional. It wouldn't hurt to contact Intel I suppose?
  9. wolfofteal
    The core voltage is set for 1.078 (according to BIOS pic I took about a week ago).
  10. wolfofteal
    If I put my hand above the fans (radiator set to pull) then it feels like cool or slightly warm air coming out, depending on how long the PC has been running.
  11. wolfofteal
    I'm starting to think it might be the cooler. I'm going to take a closer look tonight to see if I can figure out what's going on.
  12. wolfofteal
    I'm not 100% sure on that. Corsair Link will show fan RPM but I'm not totally sure how to check the pump. But if it was dead, wouldn't my CPU be overheating instantly as if there was no cooler at all?
  13. wolfofteal
    Yes. I have the radiator at the top of my case configured in pull. I swapped the original fans out because they were extremely loud. Currently using Thermaltake Riing SP140 anti-vibration fans.
  14. wolfofteal
    That is correct. 91% isopropyl alcohol, to be specific.
  15. wolfofteal
    Does it seem more likely to be the CPU that's malfunctioning, or the cooler?
