I'm using a 3770k @4.3GHz with a Corsair h100i cooler. I recently sent my old h100i off for a new one because the LED had broken, and just got and installed my new one today and the temperatures seem very high and inconsistent.
I used to get idle temps of around 30c-35c and rarely went over 60c at load with an overclock of 4.7GHz and ambient temps of around 23c-26c. Now with my new one, which I used Arctic MX-4 with instead of the stock paste like with my old cooler, I found that it idles anywhere from 40c-50c and under extremely light load, it sits at 50c-55c.
I ran prime95 for a few seconds but shut it down quickly because it made the temperatures go over 100c almost instantly.
Have any of you got any suggestion? I only applied a little thermal paste (about the size of half a pea)
tl;dr: Idles at 40c-50c with 26c ambient after installing new h100i and new thermal paste.
