Higher than normal temps

[carterjohn21]

So I've had my rig running for about 6 months and haven't had any huge problems, but for the past few months I've started to notice that the CPU is getting really hot, like up into the 90s. The build is as follows:

AMD A10-6800K (stock speeds)

Corsair H100i (push config)

Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4

Asus R9 280X

Patriot Viper Xtreme (1x8)

Corsair Carbide Air 540

Ultra X4 750W PSU

I've tried resetting the BIOS to make sure it's not over-volting/overclocking the CPU, so the only thing I can guess at this point is software. Maybe I'm stupid, who knows lol. Any help would be appricated.

Have you checked the voltage? If not download CPUZ and check it. Run something that's pushing the cpu where your seeing the 90's. Your looking for "Core Voltage".

or maybe its just dry thermal paste

[carterjohn21]

Voltages seem fine, the highest it got was 1.334 volts. Stock is 1.3V, so it's probably the BIOS doing something. Sadly though I got it to 90 on Titanfall, and it's hard for me to get the game going and all that, so I'm running Prime-95 and Heavyload, and the temps are around 83. Is that normal temps for AMD? I know they ran hot but this is a little extereme.

Sounds like a thermal issue, replace paste if possible. Is the H100 new. Maybe not mounted properly? Or maybe the pump is dead=/

Think AMD rates it at 71.3°C max. Make sure your fans are blowing set them to 100%, then check.

The H100i is... what, 8 months old or so, but it seems to be working great. I will try to get new thermal paste and try that. Maybe I just messed up last time, who knows. Thanks for the help guys.

[carterjohn21]

Been doing a good bit of research, turns out AMD isn't very good with thermal probes... Thanks AMD. Anyway, I think I found a thermal probe that isn't completely off, so I will let you guys know what I find.

Try thermal paste

[William12h]

Check and or user better Thermal paste and Make sure your FANS are connected correctly to your Waterblock, Depending where it is on your case you may Benefit from Intake or Exhaust.

Check if the rad is full of dust. And put new thermal paste on

[CPUmodder]

Try this: check your rad for dust, change the thermal compound and check the pump is working, I have a h100i and can run an i5 3570K @4.2GHz with temps around the 60s so something sounds wrong for you. if you used stock thermal compound that came pre applied with the cooler I have had problems with it not spreading on the cpu properly so that may be the same fore you
