I'm using the Corsair H60 to cool my CPU, and I have made sure the pump and everything are working at the proper speed.
I'm seeing the included fan running at Max at ~1900 RPM, and I'm seeing the pump showing 4066 RPM, which I understand is a "normal" reading for this pump.
I'm using an ITX build (Fractal Node 304 case), but I'm running it open for right now, and nothing SEEMS hot.
Yet, even so, I'm seeing idle temps of 41-43C and Prime95 temps creeping up to 80C. The only manual clocking I've done has been to pull the voltages down to 1.3V from the 1.4V I think is normally put on the standard 3.6GHz clock speed.
Again, nothing SEEMS hot. With these temperatures on my other builds, I would normally feel warm air, or I would expect the radiator to heat up.
I've reseated the H60 already, to absolutely no effect, and I've already crosschecked my temperatures with HWMonitor (the "package" reading is consistent with the Coretemp reading).
Ambient temperature is ~23C
What could be wrong?
EDIT: On a whim, I slightly tightened down the screws attaching the H60 to the CPU, and I saw a 5C drop in temperature during load (max at ~75 C now after Test 6 on Prime95).
EDIT2: Since ensuring that the cooler was fully tightened, I've had temperatures at about around the low 70s. Besides this, I was unable to improve the temperatures. I'm probably going to get some PK-1 and see if that will improve. Still hoping someone here has some insight.
