CPU Temperature Troubleshooting

[Teammate]

Hello! I'm having a i7 6700k currently set at 4.4GHz and I'm experiencing way too hot temperatures all of a sudden (when it was new I had it on 4.7Ghz with lower temps). I'm getting info through "HW monitor" that temp is:

Idle: 55-65 degrees

Medium performance: 70-85 degrees

High performance (like Black ops 3): 95-100 degrees

I'm using Corsair H100i v2 as cooler and put corsair RGB fans on the heat-sink.

 

One would think the problem lies with the cooler, but wierd part is when I open computer up and just disconnect and connect the 4pin to the fans/pump, temps are back to normal again (for a few days).

Are there anyone that have a explanation for this behavior, as I find it unreliable to game on now.

 

My normal temps when i had 4.6Ghz:

Idle: 20-35 degrees

Medium: 45-60degrees

High: 65-75 degrees

 

Graphics card is GTX 1080ti msi trio with very low temps (like 65 on max performance).

I appreciate all help I can get, as I've also gotten one or two blue screen of death (probably because of temp on cpu).

The kit is around 1.5 years old.

 

Thanks!

When was the last time that you gave the radiator a good clean (along with chassis vents)? Have you been able to verify that your pump is still running properly? 

 

Did you notice this change in temperatures sharply, or have they been rising for some time?
