H100 not cooling properly

Hey all, first time posting on the forum so bare with me.

 

Previously had an AMD Phenom X4 cpu at 3.2 ghz, cooled by an H100. Got very good temps, basically ambient at idle.

 

Have now upgraded to a 4770k, but I'm getting atrocious temps on it with the H100

 

I have it running at stock speeds but when at idle the temperature fluctuates anywhere from 30-50c, and I've hit 100c while under 100% load. BIOS even reports 50c. Corsair Link and OpenHardwareMoniter both show same temp, Link says radiator temps are anywhere from 26c at idle to 37c underload. So something is up with the H100.

 

The fans are working

The pump is working

Everything is clean

Water block is seated properly, just how Linus taught me.

 

I've been looking for a cure for hours now. I've reseated the block 4 or five times, each time producing the same results.

 

 

Specs:

Mobo: gigabyte z87x-d3h

cpu: 4770k @ 3.5ghz

Cooler: H100

Cooler fans: Corsair SP120 X2

Case fans: Noctua NFS-12B X2, and stock case fans X2

Case: Bitfenix ghost

Storage: 3 SSDs and 1 HDD

Memory: Corsair venegeance 8gb

GPU: AMD 7850

PSU: Antec 620W

 

If anyone has some advice, or solution, or questions I'd love to hear it.

Yes, just like how linus taught me.Tried different methods and amounts, basically same result.

What RPM is the pump running at? The only thing that could account for temps that high with a h100 is lack of contact with CPU, or lack of coolant flow. Hitting 100 degrees C just shouldn't be possible at stock with a h100.

Put the stock cooler on it and see what the temps are. If they're better, your h100 is broken. If not, you have a bad chip.

52 deg and cpu usage is near zero? That's not good

I guess Intel will respond something like: "It works, no point in RMAing it." :/

Had the same issue with mine. I found the back plate of the CPU cooler was not tight on the motherboard. I bought some rubber o-rings and placed them on the part where they touch the motherboard. This allowed the block to be tighten properly and dropped my temps heavily.

 

I used size (5/16th O.D. x 3/16" I.D. x 1/16") o-rings, also found them at Lowe's Home improvement

 

Just like this - ( picture from this build - http://linustechtips...nd-a-small-mod/  )

I have just added some rubber washers.

It appears to have worked. load temps are now in the low 60s
