6700k, H100i GTX high temps

I just finished assembling my new Skylake build, and my CPU idle temperature is about 40°C. My cooling setup matches the Corsair 500r configuration:
--------------------- radiator
---------------------case

My CPU fan spins at roughly 1100 RPM and is manually set to full speed in BIOS. I can't use the Corsair link because it causes crashes during installation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What temperatures are recorded when the CPU is operating under stress? That's the key metric to monitor. Run the AIDA64 stability test and keep it active for 15 to 20 minutes.

Used Aida64 stress test and observed temperatures between 56c-67c, with an average around 58c. CPUID indicates idle values of about 19c-20c, while the maximum reaches 41c-47c. In the BIOS it shows around 30c.

You have Corsair link displaying only one fan on your radiator.
Your fans should operate at around 1500 rpm currently.
You aim to overclock your 6700k using the TPU switch, targeting 4.6Ghz.
You want CPU at 4.6Ghz and memory at 2666Mhz.

Use realtemp to track temperatures and run prime95 v26.6 small fft for testing. Adjust fan speeds to the maximum they can handle without causing excessive noise.

I applied the tpu switch to boost performance to 4.6 and using prime95 26.6 yields temperatures near 68-70°C. The fan control in Corsair link only displays one fan, making it unclear if the second fan is operating at 1000rpm or 2800rpm.

I applied the tpu switch to boost performance to 4.6 and with Prime95 26.6 I'm seeing temperatures around 68-70c. I increased the fan speed on Corsair Link but only displayed one fan, so I'm unsure if the second fan is running at 1000rpm or 2800rpm. If it's under Prime, those temperatures during load seem acceptable, as Skylake CPUs tend to draw more voltage when stressed like in a Prime test. Extra voltage usually means more heat. Corsair Link showing one fan is typical for H100i GTX, ensuring both fans stay synchronized during customization or profile setup. It's also not ideal for the fans to operate at different RPMs.

Maybe a bit late, but if you're still stuck with the Corsair link, give SIV (System Information Viewer) a try at http://rh-software.com.
It lets you manage a lot of C-link hardware and is much more stable than the original C-link.
