High CPU temperatures even when nothing is running. Want some assistance :)
High CPU temperatures even when nothing is running. Want some assistance :)
@LogicalDrm You might have missed the conversation or may be mistaken by my higher temps/vcore. I am on liquid cooling. Using Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 as shown in pc parts list too. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think at moving to liquid cooling would make more sense. @Energycore have you saw the last 2 screenshots, where I am reading the vcore values, please correct me if I am using right place to look at the cpu vcore.
I haven't heard anyone talk about pump speed. Is the aio's speed at full capacity? You should replace the block and rework it. Tighten using a cross pattern—don’t skip this, or problems may arise. There’s also another concern: airflow through the front is insufficient. If you can install a top mount, that would make a big difference. With three intakes, the best setup would be with the front as high as possible using tubes down. The third option keeps the same tube configuration. Also, have you checked for any front panel issues?
Consider CPUs, motherboards, and memory as ideal options. The AIO is already in place and functioning, and you're right about the temperatures and CPU settings—this setup can work well if optimized. The pump and fan speeds reach maximum when temperatures exceed 60°C. The Arctic liquid AIO includes a single PWM controller header that manages both the pump and radiator fans via one connector. Thank you for your advice on replacing the block with a repaste. As I mentioned earlier, slightly tightening the screws on the AIO CPU block helped lower temperatures; the CPU now heats up more steadily instead of spiking to Tmax instantly. Please let me know if this adjustment is sufficient before proceeding with the remount and repaste. Clearance for case airflow appears fine. Also, I have three 120mm exhaust fans and one rear 2-tier top fan. The TOP model lacks space for this AIO, so it would be installed front-mounted with the radiator positioned above the CPU block and tubes oriented downward. Yes, I tried without the front panel, and the difference was minimal.
