high cpu temps help please

[mayham776]

hello recently i have been experiencing high cpu temps. my specs are, i7 4770k, asus sabertooth z87 MB and corsair h100i gtx cooler 240mm. I've never experienced super high temps in idle around 60c in idle and in bios 55c. i do feel the aio pumps humming I'm just not sure. maybe i should try new thermal paste i haven't reapplied new thermal paste in like 2 years could it just be a case of replying thermal paste?

What are your temperatures under load?

[mayham776]

Where do you have the radiator mounted? Is the highest point of the radiator above the pump?

the radiator is mounted at the highest point of the case its the only place i can put it until my new case comes in. @Tech87

I would definitely suggest a repaste than.

How old is the AIO?

DId this issue pop up over night or did the temps rise over an extended period? if it happend over night, i dont think it is a paste- issue.

They dont decide over night not to work properly. it sure would help to redo the paste, check for mounting pressure, maybe do a bios-update if possible.
Maybe there is a program in the background using all of the cpu aswell but 86 with an aio is still high.
Are the fans running? If the pump is running as you say, fans can be an issue aswell.

Are you overclocked? If you have an overclock, those are perfectly normal temperatures.

 

If not it could be any number of things. First thing to do would to just remount it with new paste. If that doesn't solve the issue, the pump may be faulty.

I would just delid the CPU if repasting dosen't help. Could be the thermal paste under the IHS that's dry.

Be careful not to damage the VRM on the 4770k:

Paste on the die doesn’t dry out, it’s a sealed environment.

Even if that was true, it's worth the ~20c drop with haswell.

yes the issue did come up over night just out of no where, and yes the fans are running. also i will search up what mount pressure means and test it. @alphatessi
