Hello,
My setup includes a 7700k on an ASUS Hero Maximus IX motherboard with cooling from a H1100 by Corsair AIO. I've kept the stock voltage unchanged.
I usually run it at 4.5 volts and experience idle temperatures near 35°C (with noticeable spikes), while max temps reach about 83°C. After updating the BIOS, all readings shifted to around 4.7V, with idle dropping to about 40°C and average temps climbing to roughly 91°C during testing.
Any advice on adjustments?

Following the stress test for 20 to 30 minutes, the radiator should feel warm or hot; touching it can indicate its temperature. You should also notice the water movement if you have softer tubes or sense the pump's vibration. Consider running the fans at maximum speed, as they might run slower to reduce noise. I’m not familiar with timespy, but remember that heavy testing puts excessive strain on your CPU, and your gaming temperatures should remain lower. You may also want to look at this site: https://ekwb.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articl...uid-cooled. Also, could you share your room temperature?

Hello, those figures are certainly high. Are your radiators heating up adequately? Does your pump function properly? (I've heard some users experiencing issues with pumps in AIOs) Additionally, was the cooler installed correctly? (I removed the heatsink plastic cover and applied quality thermal paste.)

Also, what is your voltage? Please share the CPU-Z reported voltage under stress or during benchmarking.

Hi, Those numbers are definitely high. Does your radiator heat up properly? Does your pump work? (I have heard of some people getting broken pumps inside AIOs) Also, did you install the cooler correctly? (removed heatsink plastic cover, applied good thermal paste,...).
BTW, what is your voltage? Use CPU-Z reported voltage under stress or benchmark.
thank you for your response. how can I tell if my radiator is heating up properly. obviously my AIO is doing somehting as i can play pubg on stock boost.. temps and not go over 80c. i will check the thermal paste but i have reapplied this before and it seemed fine. pump is definetley pumping. just hope its efficient. my CPUz reads.. 91 Watts / 1.232 Volts
