i9-9900KS at 100c

[Seensi]

Hey guys, title!

 

My current setup is as listed:

i9-9900KS at 4GHz (with auto OC as you know, I didnt do any manual OCs)

AIO H150i PRO

Aorus Xtreme 2080Ti 

32GB Ram G.Skill

 

Question is: why is it hitting 100c? Is it normal for this CPU? Should I change my AIO and if yes, to what model?

 

Thanks in advance!

was thermal paste applied? or maybe those plastic covers wasn't removed?

does your case have good airflow. another thing to check is there isn't a dead fan, or maybe even a dead pump.

Yes, I removed the stock thermal paste from the H150i and applied the Grizzly Kryonaut one. Yes plastic covers were removed. No blocked airflows and no dead fans. My case is a C700P too.

Something is definitely wrong. Is the pump plugged in to a pump header? Can you feel it moving fluid? Did you follow the instructions well/are you confident with your mount? is 100c on all cores?

My MOBO is the Z390 Aorus Master and I've plugged the pump into the CPU_FAN header. I'm not sure if it's either fluid moving or if its the vibration caused by the fans... Yes I'm pretty confident in my mount. 

 

When I'm in-game this is what I see in the Rivaturner OSD

That wide variation in temps tells me your thermal paste application might have been bad.

Also, the pump goes in to CPU_PUMP. Not CPU_FAN. The former is rated for the higher amperage of a pump.

There's no CPU_PUMP in my mobo though... CPU_FAN and right underneath CPU_OPT

 

EDIT: Found a SYS_FAN6_PUMP header. I'll try to see any changes!

 

EDIT2: Ok now this is the result using SYS_FAN6_PUMP header:

Thats still a MASSIVE range in core temps... If you have thermal paste laying around, try to re-mount the pump/block.

pretty much this here.

for me with my systems I always go with the spreading method for thermal compound, so that I know for a fact that there's full coverage.

Since I bought the Kryonaut one, I followed this video on how apply my thermal paste:

I've solved the problem and you guys won't believe what it was... The screws for the main part of the cooler wasn't screwed tightly... I forgot to tight it after setting up 

 

Now this is what I get:
