    RealDocHolliday got a reaction from RevGAM in I7-7700k temps   
    A few things I have tried. 
    delidding again and re-applying thermal paste re-applying thermal paste on the IHS Cleaning Radiator Switching around pump SATA power connectors. While I was thinking about what to do I switched my SATA power connector that goes to the water pump and used a can of air to clean some of the fins on the radiator.
     
    This saw an improvement, so naturally i took the radiator out (because it was very dirty in the places i could not hit with the duster) and proceeded to clean the entire radiator.
     
    Upon Re-installation i found myself back where I was with temps. In gaming it is arguably lower, but I just feel like it could be better as I am still hitting 80-95C very frequently. 
    I still max thermals on Aida64, and other stress tests.
     
    While cleaning the radiator I could hear the water moving around and making noises. Are small air bubbles in the Radiator a bad thing? I'm not too familiar with this.
     
    As for the Vcore suggestion I tried that, However my Motherboard does not support tinkering with my processor (B150M Pro-VD)
     
    I am also now noticing Idle water temps of 40C. I'm in the Military and live in 29 Palms in the barracks and I understand ambient temps result in higher water temps etc but I don't think that My room is THIS hot.
