Delid Temperatures increasing gradually over several weeks, 7700k, Navigator
I tested my 7700k with derbauers delid die mate 2, thermal grizzy conductonaut and Noctuas nth1 on the IHS to check the heatsink. Initially, the temperature dropped by about 15-20°C (from 4.9 GHz at 1.28V in the high 70s to 5.1 GHz at 1.36V). Those results seemed good, and after a few days I confirmed the temps stayed in the low to mid 60s with the 5.1 GHz setting. However, after a few weeks I noticed a significant rise—around 85°C during a 15-minute prime 95 test, even at ideal conditions. The fan was running at full speed for testing. I’m wondering what adjustments can be made to reduce these temperatures and bring them back under control. Also, note that the Conductonaut is no longer available since I used it with a 7970 and a R9 Fury X.
Hi jack4404,
Liquid metal doesn't tend to expel material after heating or cooling, so the main concern is the surrounding temperature. Is it warmer than expected? Keep in mind that each degree of higher ambient air is equivalent to a degree for the components. Rodolphe.

Hi jack4404,
Liquid metal doesn't tend to expel material after heating or cooling cycles, so my main concern is the surrounding temperature.
Is it warmer than normal? Keep in mind, a 1°C increase in ambient air equals a 1°C rise in component temperature.

Appreciate your response. I'm in Australia right now and it's winter, so it should be around 22c/69f. The weather has been fairly stable, though rarely hitting exactly that temperature.
What are the temperatures under normal load and regular use? If they stay within acceptable ranges, you shouldn't have any concerns. It's a good idea to inspect the cooler plate contact on the CPU. Ensure your fans, cooling radiator, are clean and free of debris on both sides. With water cooling, readings won't be precise until about 15-30 minutes of operation. Initially, you'll see fluctuations until the plate and coolant absorb heat, after which temperatures should stabilize. You might also consider using a more aggressive fan setting at normal loads. If temperatures keep increasing, applying high-quality thermal paste and reapplying it could help.

At typical usage, the CPU stays around the low 40s, occasionally reaching high 40s or low 50s. I currently use my EK fans for the radiator only at 30% speed when temperatures are below 55°C (about 1100 RPM), but I plan to increase that to around 45°C. This should help eliminate any spikes. I maintain a very clean PC, though it's not dirtiness that's the problem—I'm just checking if contact issues exist.
your cpu temperature with the cooler on will always stay above your room temperature. 40s are typical readings. I'm running a 4790k at 4.6 with a water cooler, and my usual temps sit between 40 and 51.

You cpu temp,with a cooler enabled, will never be cooler than your room temp. 40's are very normal temps.
I know, the idle temps are fine. Its the load temps. its the fact they have gotten hotter over what? and what can i do to get these temps back to where they were before. i comfortable with my cpu in the mid 70s and thats at full load i never use my cpu at full load other than stress testing i just use it for gaming, But if it was like 10 c cooler before i would like to know what has changed, why and what to do to get those temps back.
