Temperature is elevated. I5 6600k and H100i V2
Hi,
I recently purchased an i5 6600k and a Corsair H100i V2, and after overclocking, I encountered two issues:
1) The temperatures are excessively high.
2) The fans are producing too much noise.
After putting it together, I successfully reached 4.5 GHz, but while stressing the temps they climbed to around 95 to 100°C (Intelburntest). During gameplay in CS, the peak temperature was usually about 75°C in one or two cores. This is quite high compared to what my friend achieved at 4.3GHz with a budget cooler, keeping it under 75°C. Now that the room temperature is about 25°C, I’ve noticed my system reaching 80°C after playing CS. Is this typical? Shouldn’t I be able to achieve lower temps? Would it help to monitor water temperatures and compare them to the CPU?
Motherboard: MSI Z270 Tomahawk, voltage set to auto.
2) I’m looking for quieter fans that fit in the radiator.
Thanks a lot.
it seems the thermal paste isn't performing well. take it out, clean it, and then reapply it.
It seems like the thermal paste isn't performing well. You should remove it, clean the surface, and reapply it. I'll check if anyone has other ideas. If not, I'll reapply it myself. It came out of the cooler, so the issue might be due to insufficient pressure or over-screwing into the motherboard. How do you know when to stop?
I understand, there seems to be an issue with your cooler. I'll start by checking the thermal paste, then see if the problem lies with the pump. Thanks for the help!
