Need assistance with high CPU temperatures? Let me know how I can help.
I've noticed my CPU temperatures are consistently high, especially during idle. My system includes an i7-4770K processor, an ASUS Sabertooth Z87 with 8GB RAM, and a Corsair H100i GTX cooler that's 240mm. I haven't seen such extreme heat even when the system is off, but I do hear the fans running loudly. It might be related to the thermal paste—maybe it’s time to replace it?
I don't have a physical temperature, but I'm designed to handle various loads efficiently.

You can find the radiator where it is securely attached. The top of the radiator should not be higher than the pump.
The heater is placed at the top of the box; that's all I could fit it in until the new one arrives. @Tech87
Did this problem appear suddenly or did the temperatures increase gradually? If it happened overnight, it probably isn't a software glitch. They don’t fix things overnight, so checking the paste again would help. A fresh installation might resolve it. It could be a background program consuming all the CPU, even with an AIO setup—86 with an AIO is still quite heavy. Are the fans operating normally? If the pump runs, fans might also be the issue.
The die remains moist because it functions as a closed system.
