Thermal throttle

The MasterLiquid Lite 120 is a thin 120mm liquid cooler.

The radiator is too small, and is being heat soaked -- it can't remove the heat from the loop fast enough.

It's performance is about on-par with air coolers in it's price range -- 140mm tower coolers, or higher-end 120mm air coolers.

 

This is why we typically recommend 240mm, 280mm, or larger, liquid coolers.

 

Okay so i kinda figured some of it out, somehow the BIOS had reset it its fan settings so the pump wasnt running at full capacity.. i has gotten better, 10 degrees better.
Tho' it still throttles when im stress testing it in Intel XT 

Shitty cooling- So just ordered Corsair H100x Liquid CPU Cooler

So apperently i dont know enough about this..

 

When i stress test my CPU in Intel extreme tuning, my starts thermal throttleling 2 seconds after. 

It also starts throttle when im for example doom and so on.

the stable temp at desktop with no workload is about 41-44* celsius 

Can someone tell me if this is normal?

i7-7700k cooled with Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 and theres plenty of airflow in my corsair midi tower, 5 fans to be precise.

3 inwards flowing and 2 out and it pulls in fresh air right next to the cooling block for my liquid cooling...

Is the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 simply shit? or am i missing something?

What voltage is it running at?

Well that cooler is worse than an aircooler, so that might be your problem. But try remounting it and see if that helps.

Whats the voltage on the cpu? Does the pump on the cooler work?

well yes, the pump runs it seems, the tubes are hot and everything, but what seems strange is that it jumps 50 degrees in 5 sec
