Too high temps for i7 8700k and AIO?

[boyka19]

Hey guys. I have an i7 8700k (stock, no overclock) with a Thermaltake Water 3.0 240 AIO cooler, but I think I'm getting too high temps, it idles at 45ºc approximately, and using prime95 max heat stress test it went up to 95ºc after 5 to 7 minutes.

 

I just changed the thermal paste for Arctic MX-4 since it hadn't been changed since it was built 3 years ago and the old one was quite dried up, but I still get those temps. There's also no dust.

 

My room is quite hot though, I don't know the exact ambient temperature but it is 32ºc outside and I don't have AC.

 

My case is a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv, with 2 120 fans on the side.

 

There's one thing worth mentioning, the AIO is missing a little plastic ring that goes below the block that holds the metal plate, you can see the part I'm talking about in this video (minute 8:52): 

 

 

To be honest, I don't think that should make a difference though because it still fits tightly without it and it doesn't affect the way the block makes contact with the CPU.

 

Could this be the reason though?

Make sure the pump is working but listening to it. 

Re mount it. And re past it again. 

What are your temps during normal workloads?

That has to do with it as well.

8700k runs hot. just the way it is. as far as your cooler installation, i can't speak for that. 

 

is it stock, or overclocked?

hmm well that's a bit hot for stock on a 240. but i guess if its mounted kinda bad it could be a problem.

8700Ks run very hot, it's normal. Unless you delid, this is what you can expect.
