Cpu core temp too high while everything else is normal.

[Hiro_Vasilias]

Hi, 

 

So basically my cpu core temp reach 95+ while gaming and usually spike up. At first I thought it's the cooler that could be broken so I managed to get a X73 kraken as a replacement for the old X52. 

 

For a day it went fine, Next day same issue. I haven't overclocked it or anything yet. Never had this issue before until recently about 5 days ago. 

 

Can anyone advise please, thanks

 

The specs are:

I9-9900k 

16Gb ram 

Msi Godlike Z390 Motherboard 

 

Intake temp: 37 C

Radiator temp: 73 C

Core temp: 93 C

CPU socket : 65 C

System : 50 C

Mos: 68 C

PCH: 73 C

Gpu : 51 C

M.2 : 50 C

have you checked taking the sticker of the cpu cooler or putting on new thermal paste??

That is WAY to high. I am not personally familiar with that AIO, but is it possible the pump is not plugged in/the fan header you plugged the pump is isn't fried? To me that seems like the pump is not running.

 

Just to make sure, that cooler comes with thermal paste pre-applied, correct? And you cleaned the old paste off the CPU before putting the new water block on?

It's a brand new AIO, I checked double to make sure its running and it is. The old one also had no issues but I got it replaced incase. As soon as I'm off the game, give it 20 mins and temps back below 60.

I cleaned the old paste off using isopropanol on a dry piece of tissue, and the new AIO was pre-applied so I didn't apply anything. 

 

Tbh this is a weird AIO with that being it has no fan ports but a single light port which can also be connected to NZXT Grid V3 and then have fan connected... So all my fans are plugged into the motherboard and I've set them to max, cpu liquid is 37 C to 43 C. 

 

Thanks

Thermal paste was pre-applied on the cooler... Maybe I can give new thermal paste a try, also yeah it had no sticker but a plastic case to protect it... Took everything off. Thanks

Are the fans spinning..? I assume so. But, 60c at idle is also WAY to high. It should be down in the low 40's at the most. My 9900k runs in the 60-70's on a hyper 212 Evo at stock speed... Runs much cooler with my full water loop.

 

Either your chip is bad, or its reporting its temps wrong. Possibly try a BIOS update?
