AIO Cooler not working correctly

Vannagro · July 28, 2015

I have and FX 8350 at stock and a Enermax Liqtech 240 anSo I moved Saturday and I disassembled my PC and packed everything well, when I unpack and set it all up, everything seems to be great. I then notice my FPS is hovering around 40 when it is usually ~90FPS. I checked my temps and everything but my CPU was fine. My CPU was suddenly running at 75C and throttling pretty hard. I reseated my cooler with new paste and checked everything was hooked up right. Now when I am just at idle my temps are in the 60~70C with seemingly random drops to normal temps (30C Idle). The end of my radiator, and one of the tubes is almost too hot to touch, while the other tube is very cool. When it drops to normal temps then both tubes feel cool to the touch.

The radiator is clean of all dust and the fans are functioning perfectly fine. Any ideas on what the issue could be and how to fix it?

Thanks!

A. you should have got a Kraken/H100i so shame on you

B. Fans are running properly?
C. RMA (Return merchandise authorization)

D.try changing the fan configs from push/pull

E. Is the CPU Overclocked if so you probably messed up the voltage,

D. you probably just have a horrible chip and you should have gotten an Intel chip just saying if your going to spend 100 dollars on a cooler you can put another 100 twords an i5-i7

and last thing a full specs list
