Reduce CPU temperatures by decreasing AIO pump usage.
Reduce CPU temperatures by decreasing AIO pump usage.
I changed to a different case and noticed the temperatures would rise significantly when scrolling on the YouTube homepage. I have an EK AIO Cr-360 D Lux RGB. After removing the pump and reattaching it, I adjusted the speed to 80% instead of full power. The temperatures stabilized. Anyone know why this happens? My old pump ran at full speed constantly without problems.
You transferred your system to a different case, possibly leaving air pockets in the AIO pump. This could have forced the pump to work harder and run faster to keep things cool. Gradually, these bubbles cleared, letting the pump run more smoothly at reduced speeds. The BIOS might have been reinitialized to its standard settings, causing the pump to operate at full capacity continuously. By changing the pump speed in BIOS to 80%, you managed to ease the pump's load and bring down CPU temperatures.
