I have a big problem at the moment. For years I have been using Corsair's h100i to cool my fx8350 but 3 days ago the pump failed. I didnt have any big budget at the time so I dropped all overclock and bought a coolermaster 212X for my cpu until i gather some money and upgrade to ryzen. My temps though are extremely high. In a 23c room the idle temps are 55C and under gaming it reaches up in the 70s and once it even had a thermal shutdown. I am really worried about something being wrong with my cpu .

 

Case: corsair c70  with 2 intake fans in the front and 1 exhausting in the back. I have oriented the cpu fan to blow in the same direction as the exhausting fan in the back since they are in pretty much the same line of airflow.

 

 Do any of you have any ideas why this could be happening?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Nothing is wrong with the CPU, is there enough thermal paste and check that the cold plate has good pressure and contact against the cpu

CPU: Ryzen 1700@3.9ghz; GPU: EVGA 560 Ti 1gb; RAM: 16gb 2x8 Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000; PCPP: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b3xzzM

Yes it is. I put a slightly bigger rice grain. Been doing the same for years never had a problem (I should mention I didnt have any high tier paste with me at the time so I used the one included with the cooler.)
