CPU Overheating Like Crazy

[Kaose]

my CPU, i7 6700K has been overclocked to 4.4GHZ for 4 months now with no voltage changes and perfect stability. today however i noticed a slight ringing noise from the PC so i investigated, i thought it was a fan or something from my Corsair H100i v2 CPU cooler. now however the fans for the cooler spin up and it lights up red, i set red as an indicator of higher than 50 degrees on the CPU. i dialed back the overclock and it still overheats and the fans spin up like crazy

your AIO might be broken, cheek to see if the pump works.

i know but those fan curves are making me think its a lot more than 50

thats what i thought but im not sure how to check the pump, only ever used air cooling before this build

did you connect the 3pin from the pump to the cpu fan header? If so just open and software that can read fan speeds or see it in the bios.

Run a stress test, put your hand on the block, see if you feel anything, also try to see if you can hear the water flowing.

mybe your pump is just silent

Those AIOs have copper as a main contact point with a CPU and copper is super easy to heat up..

Buy an air cooler next time. I ain't surprised that's happening.

It's also super easy to cool down... that's the point. It's meant to be able to transfer heat quickly and efficiently via copper cold-plate and the water in the loop. And I'm sure you're quite the AIO expert yourself with your stock intel cooler?

Why don't you actually -check- your CPU temperatures via software while under load before jumping to conclusions?

True. I ain't no AIO expert, just a thought.
