FX-8350 Overclocking Heat Issues

Hello,

For Christmas, I received a new NZXT Phantom. I just got done switching over the parts and I am overclocking my CPU because my BIOS reset. In my old case, I could overclock my FX-8350 to 4.82Ghz without reaching 60C. I cannot recall my exact voltage but I know it was over 1.4V. After switching to the NZXT, I am hitting 57C on 1.38V which was the default voltage. I re-seated my H100i and re-applied thermal paste. Nothing has helped the temps. What could be my issue? I am honestly stumped. Thanks!

I think if I made the rear fan an intake fan, it would help get some air to the h100i.

Nah, keep an exhaust fan mate. And your cpu is way under its temperature limits. Maybe grab 2 extra fans and go for a push/pull configuration for your h100i if you are really that bothered.

I feel like making it an intake would increase the static pressure. Plus, I think the 2 exhaust on the h1100i seem to be enough.
