Need Help. CPU TEMPS KEEP CLIMBING

[BRiiTASH]

Ive literally just put together my little brothers pc together and the CPU temps keep climbing.

It starts off at 66c which is crazy high.

I cant even run it in BIOS for more than 15 seconds or it hits 88c.

The cpu cooler is a Corsair H110i GTX. Just tested it on another mobo and was running fine at 30c. Same case and everything. WTF IS HAPPENING.

Ive even used Thermal Grizzly Condocutonaut as the TIM so transfer should be good?

Does this application look a little thin guys?

I think the thermal monitor on your chip might be faulty. Does the area around the CPU feel abnormally hot?

If you mean the thermal paste? A bit, it seems like he spreaded the paste out himself instead of just using the mounting pressure of the cooler.

He's also using a liquid metal paste. http://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/26-conductonaut-en

Note: Conductonaut thermal grease must not be used with aluminum heatsinks!

 

Well... Are Intel heat spreaders made of Aluminum?

It looks like it was not cleaned enough, liquid metal needs extremely clean surfaces for the liquid metal material to bond or stick to the two surfaces.

No the IHS are nickel plated copper. 

[BRiiTASH]

Good news. I applied a second coat of conductonaut (about size of a 2xpinheads) and spread some over the heatsink and temps are stable at 26c.

Looks like I was a bit conservative with my first application.

are the screws in the block aluminium?

[BRiiTASH]

It looks petty decent IMO. Love the CoolerMaster HAF XB Chasis. Tbh i have a fetish for horizontally mounted mobo chasis's.

Dunno, possibly. But theyre isnt much if any contact between the Condocutonaut and them so they should be alright i hope.

Thermal transfer is good though. Since ive started using it i cant fault the stuff. Even used it on my 2x GTX 1080's which i watercooled and my cpu although i may have to apply another coat as the last one was rather thin.

No fasteners are rarely made of aluminium, due to it being too easy to shear and break. They are most likely stainless or a zinc plated steel.

very off topic here, but what is the use of this PC? you went X99 with quad channel memory, but then very low end on the GPU. is it meant for Autodesk-type applications?

 

just curious

i would hope so  that thing is scary when it reacts with aluminium.. i've been in computers basically my whole life, and i do rise up to a challenge, but when it comes to my personal rig, that stuff scares me.. i can just picture a stray drop jumping off and hitting some aluminium or something   i can live with the extra degrees

Haha aluminum case would be a worry if it spilled a lot, falls apart when you move it!

Nah, built it for my lol bro. Bought the Mobo for myslef but replaced it for an X99 EWS. Having that, i saw a 5930k and X99 Sabretooth combo go for £440 so i went for it.

Having the CPU and Mobo, knowing they will be good for a couple of years for him (he's only 12), i figured i'd buy some storage and such and reuse my old Corsair AX 760 PSU and 2x AMD Sapphire HDD7750 1GB GPU's i had from the first PC I built over a year ago.

If he wants a new gpu thats up to him. At least he has a solid platform and cpu/cooler/mobo/psu and storage from which to build from.

Are the transistors on a gpu made of aluminium by any chance?

No but you definitely do not want any to get onto them to short them out, a good option is to use kapton tape or to coat them in nail polish to insulate them.
