Thank you all again for the quick responses. I'm watching "gamer Nexus' video on the M22 kraken" and he also said the AIO was crap. when i cleaned the old thermal paste i tried all the tipping and everything but no luck i guess. I just ordered the nzxt X63 140 x 2 AIO. Hopefully this fixes it.

thanks for the quick reply. I've also ready ppl ask if the AIO feels like its pumping, i honestly cant tell if it is or not because it just feels like the fan vibrating, but one hose is hot and the other is cool. also before i reapplied thermal paste it was idle at 45-50

Hi so im relatively new to PCs, but everywhere i read Cpu temps should idle around 40c and in game usually 65c? I've had my PC for about 2 years. Never once until this year i've decided to look up my stats : GPU CPU usage, temps, etc... i've first noticed my cpu usage really high around 90 percent despite the fact that my graphics settings are at high 1440p. Also my cpu temps stay steady at 98-100 during games or even downloading. So i read on forums i could try reapplying thermal paste. As i took off my AIO i noticed there was thermal paste "overspilling" off my cpu and aslo around the little cpu lever thing, looked on the back of my AIO and theres buildup of thermal paste in the shape of my cpu. Apparently who every build my pc used too much. So i cleaned it, accidentally bent 2 cpu socket pins, bent them back slightly, reseated cpu, reapplied thermal paste (artic Mx-4), re installed the AIO, Booted up and in idle it sits at 86C now. Any thoughts? Bought my PC from cyberPower i7 9700k Msi Mag z390 tomahawk mobo corsair 3000mhz ram 16gb nzxt kraken m22 AIO rtx 2070 650 corsair 80 plus gold power supply also have 6 case fans so i dont think its that?
