CPU Temp 105c

[phillrulz]

Okay, I just wanted to check how my CPU Temp is because it's rather hot here in California, so I download Core Temp and I see it's at about 50c idle!

I then checked what the temp is on full load using Prime95 and it's 105c!

It's actually throttling itself because it's getting so hot!

 

I don't know how this is so hot! I have a Corsair H100i and I haven't changed anything since like June!

Could it be the motherboard? I was planning on having it RMAed because 1 DIMM slot doesn't work so I can't use my full 16GB of ram.

There is 2 likely problems, 1 you forgot to plug the sata power cable in so the pump isnt running or, 2 there is a fault with h100i that i have experienced where the pump block doesnt make contact with the heatspreeder a easy fix is to put 4 plastic r rubber washers around the back plate like this easy way to see if this is there will be some give when you try rock the pumpblock DONT break it. my fix:

My money is on the fact the the voltage regulator onboard the CPU is being taxed to hell, that and the fact that you are running Prime95 on an AVX enabled CPU.

 

Try an non AVX benchmark / torture test and report back with your temps.

 

PS: The reason for your high temps are due to the fact that AVX workloads actually draw more CPU power on Ivy bridge and up. As such the motherboard will increase the voltage somewhat to compensate for vdroop.

It does not explain why he has high idle temps.

Clean the H100i and make sure you have fans on it because if the radiator is not getting airflow it cant get cold and therefor the water does not get cold. B)

True, in that case the OP should RMA the cooler, and find a temporary air cooler if possible. You might be able to hear the pump if you stick a mechanics stethoscope on the pump block and hear if there is any pump noise.
