I recently went on vacation for Christmas, came back and fired up the gaming PC. After about an hour of gaming it shut down from CPU temp limit as reported by the BIOS. I replaced the thermal compound on the H100i and cleaned out the fans/ radiator fins and got back to gaming. Now it maxes out at 60c while gaming and hovers around 40c at idle. This doesn't seem right. Any ideas as to what is going on in there? Corsair Link reports a constant pump speed of 2234. Fans are controlled by seperate controller.

Oh ok. I seem to remember that H100i getting it a lot closer to ambient at Idle, but glad to have some assurance.
