CPU instantly overheating

[CombatAssassin]

Hi!

 

To begin with, these are my specs:

Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus X Hero

CPU: Intel core i7 8700k

RAM: G.skill trident z RGB 16gb 3000mhz

Cooler: NZXT Kraken x62 

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1070

PSU: Corsair RM850X 850W

 

The problem i have is that my CPU instantly shoots up to 70-90*C when starting my pc. I recently moved my pc a long distance and i have since checked every cable to make sure everything is as it’s suposed to be (it was). At first i thought my cooler had given up on me but the pump is doing it’s thing at 6000 rpm, And i know it is because i can hear it. The coolant stays at around 60*C and all the fans are spinning. There is no dust blocking air flow. I have never changed the thermal paste but i doubt thats what’s causing this issue all of a sudden. 
 

any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Try repasting anyway - it could have turned into thermal caulk instead of paste.

Very likely that you have air trapped in the CPU block/housing.  (easiest way to tell is if one of the tubes leaving the CPU block is HOT while the other isnt.)

 

You will have to keep the pump at 100% for a while, as you move the physical PC around in ways to help move the air bubble along and out of the block, back into the radiator.

I can’t feel a noticeable difference in heat regarding the tubes but i tried this method anyway and it didn’t work:( thank you though.

There would be quite the magnitude of difference in tubing feeling by temperature if you were running those temps.  I can feel this through tubes even with braiding covering them (your out tube should always be hotter, carrying away heat)

 

Are you SURE the pump is working?  If both tubes are the same heat, sounds like nothing is moving.

I am 99,9% sure that it is indeed moving  since i can hear it pumping even faster when im tilting the case. And at the same time im tilting the case, im looking at the screen where i have the CAM monitoring software open and it tells me that the pump is pumping at speeds from 4-10k rpm. I guess i can feel a slight difference in heat but not well enough to think theres something wrong with it.

4 - 10k RPM?

 

Da'F kind of pump is this lol  Can anyone else confirm this pump will hit 10k RPM?  I believe most of the AIO's I have are all around 3k RPM.

Yea well to be clear it usually sits at around 3-4k but now that it wants to cool my cpu it’s pumping at around 6k. Only when i tilt the case will it hit 10k rpm.

Something is out of place here:

Lol what. Yea something is definitely out of order here. Maybe it’s like you said before, that theres just alot of air trappen in the heatsink and so the pump just isn’t pumping anything? Wouldn’t that cause the pump to hit such high rpms?

I cant say yes - but I will say 10k RPM would likely cause the entire unit to vibrate beyond such a spec that the fins would fly off.  Who knows - either that or its reporting wrong because of similar issue.

 

Lay the case on its side (motherboard tray/cable management panel down) so that the tubes are sticking up, and rock it back and forth.  Have to manually get those bubbles out (IF that is the issue - this is common especially after transporting a PC with an AIO imho)

Omg. It actually f’ing worked thank you so much. I got kinda worried there for a while. Now my CPU is idling at around 25-35*C and the pump is spinning at 2,2k RPM.

HUZZAH!   Glad its going, thanks for trying out the suggestions and reporting back!
