Unstable system after upgrading

[Dohr]

CPU: 6700k

Cooler: Corsair H100i (about two years old)

MoBo: Asus z170i Pro Gaming

RAM: 32 GB DDR 4

GPU: GTX 1080
PSU: EVGA 750w 80 plus Gold

Case: Corsair 250d (Optical drive tray removed)

Fans: 80mm on back + included 140mm(?) on front

 

Okay, so I upgraded my CPU / MoBo / RAM recently and have since been plagued with high CPU temperatures / game crashes / system freezing (last thing that was on the screen is displayed and a loud screeching sound until I power the system down). From watching temps while in game I see the CPU is getting really hot on some titles (90C+). I have tried reapplying the termal paste and rotating the radiator as well. 

 

Currently the system idols at 44-47C, which seems really hot to me.  The temp from the cooler (using Corsair Link) seems to be at 30C. 

 

I am hoping it isn't a bad CPU, but it seems like it might be. Anyone have any ideas?

Could be a bad CPU from what you said but also did you buy to cooler used cause there could be a problem with that

[Dohr]

I bought the cooler new, but it was left over from my previous build which makes it almost 2 years old.

Okay So I randomly seemed to have solved the issue...

 

Apparently in power settings if you select "High Performance" it wants to overvolt your system constantly. I put it back to Balanced and it's idoling at 30c... I feel dumb. Thanks anyways!

When you say upgraded, you're saying that you kept the same HDD/SSD with the same exact Windows/OS installed? You're issue would be driver related if this is the case. Windows is trying to run your hardware at the same specs as the previous hardware. This isn't a good mix. You'll have to either get a new HDD and install your OS on it and then transfer files over, or back up your files, wipe the current hard drive, then reinstall Windows. You cannot mix drivers like that without causing issues. You're lucky you even booted (if this is the case). Again, I'm only assuming since you used the word "upgraded".

Sounds like a dead pump on the cooler wb

Scratch... I see the pump rpm..

 

Another posibility, I had a h100i and never used it in like 3 years. Finally built a system to use it and the liquid had almost fully permeated out the tubes.

 

The pump may be running, but if it leaked insufficient fluid won't get circulated to cool the WB

Same thing happened to me. I came home from a 2-week vacation, had to install some Windows updates, and the next day my PC (not a new build) would constantly freeze. I hope that setting the power management to "Balanced" will help. It was on Stress Test Mode before... apparently, it failed
