I observed that ICUE doesn't display the RPM of your radiator fans but instead reads from the pump's speed, which is around 2220 RPM. This raises concerns about the radiator setup and whether it has sufficient thermal paste. You might want to verify if they have enough thermal paste.
Certainly. The spikes are typical behavior as the CPU handles higher workloads, causing temporary increases in usage and temperature. If your fan curve is overly aggressive, the fans may spin rapidly during peak times before easing back. Observe your temperatures while under load—are they stable and within expected ranges?
Hey there, it's me again. We fixed the thermal paste and added more, but noticed we ended up with too much. The good part is the temperatures stayed steady and didn't fluctuate much. We tested around 55-60°C and sometimes even 70°C with just the EDGE or Chrome. To prevent this, we're considering replacing our radiator with a H100i V2. My dad has the same model running an i7-7700k with Turbo boost at 4.5 GHz, and he's maintaining a steady idle around 30-40°C. I also had an H80 with a push-pull fan setup—one front, one back, mostly around 40°C during idle. Any advice on picking the right radiator? I own a Lian Li Lancool 2.
Arctic Liquid Freezer II is an excellent cooler offering great value. You need to choose the appropriate size, as each model suits your needs.
most noctua and bequiet 120 mm and bigger tower coolers work well... avoid the low-profile models if you lack space.
You ended up with a lot... and even more... It's okay to tweak it a bit, but just make sure the thermal paste isn't conductive. Otherwise, it could cause issues around the connector and won't improve heat transfer if you adjust the cooler properly. Having too little is worse than having too much...
