H100i tempurature problem

[alek]

I have had my h100i on 3770k now for about 3 months now and at first i was getting good tempuratures but now on idle i get 50 to 60 degrees and when i game or put my pc under load it goes up to 90 to 100 degrees as before this never happened.im just trying to find out y this is happening or if anyone has a fix.

Did you bump the computer in anyway? Have you tried re-seating the CPU block? Is pump/fans working?

Check the pump mount. Is the CPU pump operating? Also are the fans on the rad operating?

Then I would try and re-seating the CPU block again and see if anything changes.

I had this problem. Mine would get up to 90 on prime95. I reseat it and made sure the backplate was mounted properly and my temps dropped to about 45

how much dust/debris is in the radiator fins?

Speaking of which, how do you know clean out the fins on the radiator?

[airdeano]

depends. how much garbage is on the array or embedded in the fins. if you have

fuzzies and pubes i use a sticky lint roller or some sticky tape. if impacted pretty

good or have some good trash in the fins, remove radiator and with light air-flow

back-flush the fins with a slow gasp of air. shouldn't take much to eject the debris.

If you have to remove the pump from the CPU, you'll need to re-apply thermal paste.

yes.. and depending on TIM used some need a "break-in" or settling time.

find your most used TIM and stock up on it. i've gone through 10 tubes of NT-H1.

each tube is good for 15 apps..

Hoover on the slowest settings and hover the head a cm above the radiator. Stops dust flying everywhere including your now probably open PC case. Also means you don't even have to remove the rad once you get practise.
