Hey all!

Please do not judge but this is my first post and would love some help with a issue I'm currently having. I just built my first computer late February. It's an I9 9900k cooled by a Be Quiet! 280mm rad with NZZT pos pressure fans on a Z390m MSI mobo. So far it has been great. I occasionally run a 5.0 all core and its perfect, NO PROBLEMS what so ever. This machine usually runs around 29-33c (OC'd, lower at factory bios) at idle and in the 60s while playing CSGO (yes I know but its the only game I can still enjoy playing occasionally LOL). I had just moved homes today and had set up my computer and was worried when I saw my CPU idling around 55-65c. Was strange but thought that the thermal paste could have shaken loose? or something so I repasted the CPU and went through multiple layout changes only to find that my CPU will not drop below 45c. Now yes, you may be thinking, Hmm its definitely the change in ambient air temperature right? I wish. The room it is setup in is easily 10c cooler than the previous room it lived in. With the window open in here (Outside is 12c degrees, about 15-20c in room) it is still idling around 50c literally as I am writing this.

 

I am very confused and mad. Anyone could think of why this is and how I could fix it? the AIO is brand new so I doubt the pump is already going out. Also the GPU (MSI 1660Ti) is idling at 32c this whole time. ambient temp is fine, room temp is fine, air flow is fine, case temp is fine, brand new pump, perfect 9900k that has not given me a single issue in the 2 months I have had it.

 

Any help is much appreciated thank you very much!

Try re seating the cpu.

i did that when i repasted it. took it out the socket to get a good wipe on all four edges because there was some extra paste. 

 

and I did clean it with a clean microfiber and 93% rubbing alcohol!

I told you the temps that read from HWInfo... I told you the exact cooler AND the exact fans... lmao. I also explained how this was my first time on this forum... so I do not understand why nobody would reply or just skip over someone's post in need, even if little info was posted, when all the info was blatantly put in the very first post. 

 

Don't put this on me lmfao I came for help as a newbie and nobody offered help. took almost 28 hours for you to say that BS anyways when numerous people (if confused) could have asked the same thing..... or just READ THE POST!!!

 

anyways, no thanks to anyone here, I have solved the issue. Coolant somehow evaporated (or disappeared some other way) out of the loop. Refilled it and now run at 25c idle, yay.

 

thanks for my first and last experience on this forum.

 

Good day, 

Sebastian.

Silent loop 280?

Pure loop 280?

pure loop 2fx?  

 

" exact cooler"

Sebastian, I've been on this forum for months, as well as 2 other forums even longer. Some of my posts go unanswered, too. There are multiple reasons, including that no one has the answer. Sorry about the bad experience. If the AIO was low on liquid, that means it is defective since you said it's new. Get the vendor to replace it. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
