Thermal Cooling Issue

[kuansterful]

I dont think my new AIO cooler is transferring the heat effectively.

 

I was running SolidWorks Visualize Animation render where the GPU and CPU is pushed to the max. Before my new cooler, I had a corsair H60 120mm AIO cooler and the temperatures got to the mid 90s Celsius. The exhaust coming out of it was super warm (felt like around 40-50 Celsius). So I bought a brand new corsair H150i Pro to replace the H60. This cooler is compatible with Corsair link 4 which I used to monitor the temps. With the new cooler, I OC my CPU from 4.8 GHz to 5.0 GHz.

 

When I ran SW Visualize again, the temps on the CPU hovered around the mid 80s but I noticed one of the temp sensor in the Motherboard reached 110 Celsius! I looked at the different sensor placement on the MB (picture of it attached), I believe it's the sensor where the CPU socket is. Am I right to assume this and if so, how bad is that for the MB? BUT the big thing I noticed is that the AIO liquid temperature never went above the 38 degree Celsius during the max load. That means the heat from the CPU isn't heating up liquid. Is it normal to big AIO Cooler to not have it's temperature rise that much during max load? Thanks all help is appreciated.

 

My build:

i7-8700K

Gigabyte Z370 HD3

Nvidia GTX 1070

32GB RAM

Corsair H150i Pro

I kid you not, pull your cpu and see if it spins on it's top after you clear the thermal paste off of it, if it does, you may want to consider lapping

112C is most likely the VRMs. Try to get a fan to point directly at the socket area.

Since your CPU is not reaching 100C I think the pump is running fine. Try reseating the cooler. Are your fans ramping up correctly?

Also check if multicore enhancement is enabled. You can disable it for better temps but worse performance.

Have you tried undervolting your CPU yet?

considering that it lists the voltages and then six different temperatures and there are 6 power phases, it is most definitely the vrm's. You need to try and get more airflow over that area of the board

The temp of the liquid doesn’t need to go up. It’s best that stays as low as can be. 

 

Id just check the voltages first. Could get those temps down a bit for the core. 

 

My board is quite cheap so I don’t even have temp read outs, at least in the mobo software. If you have a spare fan, put on on there and test it again and see how much it helps.
