CPU: Intel i7-2600k 3.4 Ghz (No Overclocking)
Cooling: Liquid Cooling | Corsair H80i

When I'm idle the temps are 34c-36c max idle is 46c but when I play a game such as Mafia 2 just a second ago it jumped to 60c max 77c I assume that's not normal. Could I have some help Thanks :)

Note: I've only just put in the H80i as I got it today I cleaned the previous thermal paste with ArctiClean.

So that would mean apply new thermal paste right? I have Arctic Silver 5
Also how would I know if i've installed it correctly I don't want to keep taking it out and in.

I mainly use HWMonitor that's how I check my temps. Is 80c bad for rendering on Sony Vegas?

Ok, Should I contact Corsair to replace the item as I bought it from Amazon UK?

Also I forgot to mention before and after is the same, The water block seems a bit wonky in my eyes, I 'think' the backplate is loose. Plus when I took off the block before I applied new paste is was only touching half the CPU. Would this mean that the product isn't faulty just meaning that I need to fix it some how??

I think it's ok now, I refitted everything, I took the Mobo out and refitted and tightened the backplate, also I refitted the 2 120mm fans and radiator and cooling block and made sure it was VERY tight and snug. Then I rendered a 20min video in Sony vegas and the max temp it hit is 54c. When not rendering my temps are 30min and somtimes hit 40c but it sticks to 30c when I'm not doing anything.
