High Temps after Delid
High Temps after Delid
I checked my 3770K a while ago with MX-4 thermal paste, and for regular use CPU temperatures climbed into the high 90s until I had to reapply paste. After that they settled back down to low 60s and high 50s but kept slowly increasing again.
I switched to Kryonaut paste and saw my temps drop instantly to around 70, sometimes reaching the high 90s.
It usually takes about two weeks for temperatures to rise from 60 to 100 after that, so I usually reapply paste then.
I’m using the floating method. What might be causing this issue? I don’t know much about pressure since the hatch stays firmly closed.
I have an H100i processor at 4.8 GHz @ 1.32V.

The thermal compounds you are employing all suffer from the pump out effect, causing consistent descent in performance as pumping continues. Optimal outcomes are achieved with liquid metal TIMs such as TIM for CPU die to Heat Spreader Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, Cool Laboratory Pro, or Ultra. It is worth checking if you fully eliminated all previous adhesive.

Optimal outcomes are achieved with liquid metal TIMs such as Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, Heat Spreader, or Cool Laboratory Pro; the Liquid Metal type from Thermal Grizzly is likely your top choice. It's worth checking if you fully removed all previous adhesive.
The thermal compounds you are employing all suffer from the pump out effect, causing them to lose effectiveness early on as pumping continues. The optimal outcomes come from using liquid metal TIMs such as TIM for the CPU die and Heat Spreader Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, Cool Laboratory Pro, or Ultra—likely the best options available. One point to consider is whether you fully eliminated all previous adhesive.
