CPU Temps Way Too High

Posted (edited)

I'm having very high CPU temperatures and I'm not sure why.

 

Build:

6850K (not overclocked)

H115i Liquid Cooler

GTX 1080

DDR4 4 sticks of 8 GB, 32 GB RAM at 3200 MHz

AX860i

 

Temperature in room is 20C (68F).

Fans are not PWM. They're based off of voltage I believe.

Thermal paste is a few hours old, whole build is 2.5 years old.

 

I tried:

  1. Reapplying thermal paste
  2. Oiling case fans (but all of them were fine beforehand)
  3. Using an air conditioner until my room hit 15C (59F)
  4. Dusting the entire PC, including the case, the fans, the radiator - everything
  5. Redoing cable management
  6. Tightening the liquid cooler pump onto the CPU

I have two screenshots. First picture is when I'm playing League of Legends in a Discord call, with one tab of Google Chrome open. Second picture is just Discord open, and in a Discord call. I don't think it matters but my frames in League of Legends hover around 100 fps.

87C = 188.6F

47C = 116.6F
