CPU running too hot

Go to solution Solved by vlkn´,

change the pump settings and fans speeds if you can. And don´t leave it on "silent mode" or something like that.

Bubbles in the liquid and substances that block your heatfins in the radiator/cpu cooler can lead to less "cooling performance".

 

If after changing the speed settings, the temperatures aren´t lower than before. I´ll recommend you to rma the cooler.

Hello, I have am Intel i5 4670k that Is set to stock clock and voltage ("Auto" in the BIOS) but for some reason it runs on 80~95c

 

I have the Corsair H100i and my mobo is gigabyte z87x-ud4h running Windows 7 64 bit

 

But the thing is that the problem is new, I have this PC for about 6 months now, I did try to OC it but It was too hot and unstable on 4.3 Ghz so I passed on the idea of OCing it for now, so I've got it back to stock settings and it ran fine on a peak of 60~70c while gaming, but now it just runs on startup at 80~95c... Yesterday it was all fine...

reseat the CPU and try another program see if that helps?

Download CPUID HWMonitor and see if that reads the same, if it does then you need to recheck the block because that isn't normal.

I don't think that after 6 months since I've built this system it will be a hardware placement problem problem, but I will try this, as soon as I'll get some thermal paste...

Well... Corsair Link shows the same temps (- 5c or so), and you mean the block that is attached to the CPU lid..?

Now I notice that the core voltage on CPU-Z is bouncing between 1.096v and 1205v, I remeber that the stock should be lower then that, but I'm not sure 100%.. any one knows the stock voltage..? and the multiplier bounces between 36 and 38, maybe I should set it manually to it's stock speed and voltage..? at least untill I'll get some paste so I reseat it all...

Your h100i is running at 76 degrees which I don't believe is normal for that block. I use a 4690k, and a radiator myself (NZXT) and my liquid temperature has never gone above 40 degrees C on full load even when overclocked. My guess is it's most likely a problem with the cooler itself. Inspect it and see what's going on, and if you can't find a solution, just return it. It should definitely still have warranty.
