It is currently summer time. Room temp is 24 degrees Celcius. The radiator is currently set to exhaust in a pull configuration. Basically, at the top of my 450D I have the two fans so they are visible outside the case and then the radiator mounted to those for ease of cleaning. Currently, the air does not seem to get warm at all and even when idling, the air coming out of my rear 120mm fan and the radiator feels to be the same temperature. I should also mention when I took the cooler out, I gave the whole thing a bit of a shake and could hear water sloshing around. My guess is that some coolant evaporated?

Yep, I made sure the mounting screws were all the way into the socket and then made sure the cap screws that hold the brack down were tight as well. The mount screws have a hard stop on both sides so I went as far as I could go

Hey all, So recently I noticed my temperatures on my 6850k getting pretty hot at idle. As I sit here typing this, with only Chrome open and no other apps running, my temps on my 6850k package according to HWMontiorPro are 60 degrees C. This seems very high to me. Last night I took my H115i out, cleaned all the dust out of the radiator and fans, reinstalled new thermal compound, and nothing really changed (maybe 5 degrees lower). I checked the BIOS and the water pump is registering in the 1500 RPM range. I never had this problem when I first built the system (about 1.5 years ago), looking for any helpful tips or advice CPU is running completely stock. No changes to clock speed or voltages. Here are the results after only a 15 minutes stress test.
