Hot CPU with Cold AIO?

[Cody_53027]

I'm attached some system data. Fans and Pump are basically maxed out to yield mid 70s-low 80s, Under CPU load. No GPU load. Notice, Liquid is @ 40c though. All parts are brand new. I'm even @ stock frequency. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Totally feel like a Noob.

If this is under load temps then these are normal

That seems right, the water will not heat up to 60-70C or anything really high due to it being constantly cooled by the radiator, it also takes a lot of energy to heat up water, if anything those temps might be a bit high on the water temp.

How long was this run for? If it was for something like a minute, then the liquid is not going to reflect the steady-state temperature during load because water takes a lot of heat to warm up.

That's about the temps I'm getting with a 4770k and a H100i v2 running @1.3v, if you're feeling ambitious you could try reapplying the thermal paste and see if it improves.

After I posted this, it got ALOT worse. Fans were @ 2000rpm+, water temp got to 60c-ish, and package temps were upper 90s-100c @ stock clocks. I came to the conclusion either my waterblock lifted off heatspreader, thermal paste was inefficient or I had a kink in my tubing. Turns out I might have had a little of all 3. Reapplied thermal paste, tightened hold-down screws, and adjusted tubes now overclocked to 4.6 @ 35c, package @ max of 80 with RPMs around 1300. FYI, working in a NCASE M1.
