Why does my cpu hit 90c under water?

[JewishBacon]

I recently installed this neat hardware monitoring software called CAM (https://camwebapp.com/).

 

Yesterday I was converting some video files from one format to another, when I noticed that my 4770k takes about 2 mins to go from idle at 32-33c to 90-94c under 100% load. I'm using an H100i with some arctic silver. I even tried reapplying it and it still gets SO HOT. I know its the proper amount of thermal paste, and I know my pump is working (corsair LINK says its running at ~2300 rpm). Any ideas?

Are the fans on your radiator working properly and increasing in speed when your CPU heats up?  Or maybe the software is reporting your temps wrong.

I also installed a secondary temp gauge that reported the same temps. im looking into the fan profiles now. maybe that the issue.

Try HWMonitor, but first make sure the fans are spinning (like @Gamessys said) and the pump is making noise.

Try Intel Power Gadget to monitor temps. The 4770K and 4670K had problems over heating with some of them, so they replaced them with the 4790K and 4690K.

Don't trust cam. Try other software readings like Real Temp.

the fans are definitely spinning. I guess ill pull up the BIOS to look at fan profiles now.  Also, HW monitor agrees with CAM

If the fans are spinning and you know you installed the water block correctly with an adequate amount of thermal paste then I would check to make sure the radiator is free of dust buildup.

Either the software isnt good at monitoring temperature or you mounted it wrong. When I mounted on a 3570k there was a specific way you had to do it. There is a notch that lifts the cooler up when installed wrong

hook the pump to a fan header instead of the cpu header.

Remount the cooler and make sure the pump is at absolute full speed.

Have you tried actually touching the top of the pump to feel if there is vibration coming from it so you know it's actually working?

What are the CPU (motherboard), core, and water temperatures reported by Corsair Link?

Already tried that. good call.

I'll give this a shot. dont know what it will do exactly though...

Touched it, can confirm its  vibrating. 

[LabRat]

makes the pump spin at a constant rate.

i dont think this pump goes to a cpu or fan header. it connects to a USB header inside the case and sata power. then the 2 radiator fans get plugged into the pump itself. I have my fans on intake. should they be set to exhaust?

I DID move the rad fans off the h100i controller and back onto the cpu 1/2 fan headers and it looks like when I run prime95 I hold steady at around 82 now. better than 94 i guess.,...

drag air from inside the case to outside through the rad.

 

where is the rad located?

rad is on the top. I have 2 fans in the front as intake. 1 (much higher CFM) in the back as exhaust, and the 2 on the rad as intake

what voltage/clock speed are you at?  I know your sig says stock but I know how that goes.  Prime 95 running at 82°c isn't too bad

all stock on everything CPU. 

[LabRat]

good spot for the rad. you should be pulling air from inside out the top of the case. you should change your name to wrong way corrigan.
