cpu why am i getting such high CPU temps?

[coolevi]

recently I've been getting 70-90c on my 6700k (4.60GHz) with my corsair h100i gtx, I don't know what I should do, I think its still under warranty, what should i do?

Try reapplying the thermal paste?

ill try that. also there's not hot air coming out of the rad, that might explain it.

The fans are still working yes?

pump working?

yeah, and the fans are Noctua, not that it matters.

yeah, it says about 2700rpm on corsair link.

is your pump working? (you should feel it "purr" when you put yiour finger on it)

is the tubing hotter near the cpu block than it is near the rad?

no, it doesn't seem hot at all, it might be the thermal paste.

Did you remove plastic covering from cpu waterblock?

i'm gonna need to sit down and recover if that's what wrong, but that's a really good catch

(and it should also kinda make performance within what we're seeing here)

no, I haven't taken it out of the box, jk

you'd be amazed to find how many people actually forget that

I mean, when you debug something, you have to check everything. Because I didn't do it once and I was 100% sure that this can never happen to me.

You can try reseating your cpu waterblock, this may help (thermal paste replacement anyways).

ill try replacing thermal paste tomorrow.

Have you set a manual voltage in bios, or is it automatic?

it`s automatic, I use the MSI program. but I underclocked it back to 4.0GHz and replaced the thermal paste but I was getting even worse 100c on idle. (i`m using my laptop now)

I recently ran into this problem also. My Corsair H100, that i had for 5 years (2011-12),  was just not doing the job anymore as well as it should have, Prime95 was hitting 90degree C. I now have Noctua DH-15 and she only gets to 70

yeah, it was probably out of coolant. but I've had mine for less than 6 months.

These are closed systems they should not lose their coolant.

Set voltage to manual. Automatic is giving the CPU the voltage it requires + even more (overvoltage), resulting in high temps. Higher voltage = Higher temps.

Try to set 1.350V for 4,5GHz and test stability.

I did, and temps didn't change.
