CPU temps with Corsair H80i seem a little high...

Hi,

 

I have an i7 7700k @ 4.5GHz and a Corsair H80i AIO liquid cooler.

I am a bit confused as to why my CPU is running as hot as it is.

At idle, it sits around 40 degrees and after testing under 100% load, with prime95, it gets to 80 - 85 degress after 3 - 4 minutes!

 

Any help with this?

In the bios I have it set to 1.23V and 45 mulitplier. My case also has plenty of ventilation, 2 intake fans, 2 exhaust fans and then 2 more exhaust fans on the H80i radiator.

I have heard in the past Intel chips didn't run particularly well on P95 (overvolting I believe). You could try another stress test like Aida 64 and see what your results are.

Also, I assume the backplate is mounted correctly?

It is using Arctic MX-2, is that not that good?

I assumed you were using the stock stuff.

Check the backplate is oriented correctly, only one side goes up.

I have a 7700HQ on my laptop and it definetly runs hot, so hot that it tjunctions, which renders the only game I play unplayable.

I'll try cooking a slice on pepperoni on my Intel soon.

My trial of AIDA 64 Extreme has ended, is there another way I can do it, an online version or something like that?

How do I know if it is the wrong way up? As far as I can tell, it is mounted fine - but I could easily be wrong.

It says in the instruction manual, which you should have read?

Those temps really aren't out of the ordinary for an H80 of any flavor.

ROG RealBench is a good real world stressor. use HWMoniter to watch temps and voltages.

Or any 120mm AIO.

 

Really need to step up the cooling game OP. Get a 280/360 and you'll be grand. That'll let you properly give it a shot.

I did, and yes, it is the correct way around.

I'm not sure if  your using a z170 mobo or not , with my Gigabyte z170x gamming 7 i have noticed my 6700k overvolts to 1.4v even if i have the voltage set to 1.25v, i would check your voltage during a benchmark, if it is overvolting try changing to and adaptive voltage and setting an offset to limit voltage
