CPU Temp

[Tranquil_Turtle]

I have a 4670k with a Corsair H100i. I just recently noticed that my CPU was up to 90 C when playing Battlefield 4 and about 46 C when idle. I used to get a high of 65 C when gaming and 31 idle. I've had the PC for 5 years now, so I figured it might be the thermal paste. I replaced it and there is no change in temperature. I turned off Intel Turbo Boost in BIOS and now CPU is running at stock 3.4GHz. Still no change. The PC is free of dust and all fans look to be running normally. I cannot see anything unusual going on in task manager either (MSI Live Update used to give me some issues). I would appreciate any help you can give me.

It can be the pump degrading or getting botched.  It is not transferring the liquid at optimal level.  What is your pump RPM ?

I was not even aware that I could view the pump RPM. I opened Corsair link and it said 514 RPM with a divider of 2.

OH SH*T!!!!!!!!! no wonder,,,,, Your pump is jacked up.  The lowest is 1100rpm then 2100rpm which is ideal and 2800rpm which is noisey and has no performance difference between 2100 or 2800rpm, so you choose 2100rpm for quiet operation.

Just to add. The life expectancy of an AIO on average is about 5 years.

So after my last post I was prompted to manually delete and download the new Corsair Link software as my version was apparently no longer compatible with Windows. After that, it is now being show that the pump is running at 2364 RPM with idle temp at 43 C.

Your CPU idle temps or the liquid temp ?

CPU. Here's all the info Corsair Link tells me.

The liquid temp is way to hot.  On full load you barely reach 42c.  Pop open the side panel and open your room window.  That 42c will go to 55c on load and that's gonna cause crazy high cpu temps.

To be honest I would look at getting a new aio as it seems yours is at the end of its life span, as they only last for about 5years before they start failing

I've had both side panels open since I noticed the issue, so these temps shown are with them open. I'll buy a new AIO and see if that fixes it.

Installed the new one and it’s making a sound that reminds me of a big rig truck. Just my luck.

That almost sounds like something is hitting a fan blade.  Which Pro Series cooler did you purchase?  If have the fans connected to the pump, you can set them to Zero RPM fan mode in iCUE to see if maybe something is rubbing a fan.
