Fans upgrading to reduce heat ?!

[WaelT]

I currently have Core i7 5820K, Corsair H100i GTX inside Phanteks Enthoo pro, I left all stock fans inside and I feel that my CPU is really kind of overheating.. 

With no stress it is around 55-57c.. Is that normal having AIO cooling solution ? 

Does it worth it upgrading all the fans including the H100i GTX ones ? if so what do you suggest guys ? 

Thank you

the stock corsair fans are a bit meh, but those temps are still very high for idle regardless of fans. I think the issue may lie at the connection between the CPU and the waterblock.

With high idle temps it's most likely a bad mount I would suggest to first to try remounting to see if you can get any improvements on that first. Usually you want to see between 5-10C above ambient on idle.

What better job can I do ? Any hints ?

Any suggestion how to remount or what to do differently this time  ?

Clean off the old paste first and apply a new drop about the size of a grain of rice, when mounting tighten the screws diagonally from each other so they apply nice even pressure until tight. On AIO's it's not uncommon to have to do this a couple of times to get it right.

I just installed the AIO today, do I still need to replace the thermal paste? Or shall I just remount again ?

Ideally you should always clean off the paste and apply new stuff when you remount to prevent air bubbles.

Try remounting it. New fans wouldn't change temps much.

I just remounted the cooler and the temperature went down from 55c to 40c when Idle? Is that low enough or should be lower than that ?

That's a good sign, check your load temps with a stress test to see what you get. Also is the CPU overclocked at all?

Will do and no it is not ... Yet

When gaming, it is like low 60's

Yeah that's a lot better than before, if your going to overclock keep the load temps below 85C.
