Hey all, long time reader first time poster...
I used this forum to decide on a main build for my rig, i ended up with a 3930k, MSI gtx770 2gb 1150mhz, GA-X79-UD3, 16mb of corsair vengeance @ 1600mhz.
As the title describes I'm having some trouble with the temperatures of my cpu. I was aware when buying my cooling system, Corsair Hydro Series H60, that it wasn't the best cpu cooler for my cpu but it was all i could afford at the time, and i didn't think the results would be too disastrous.
A few months ago I finished my build and the core averaged temps idle from 55-60c which was as i expected. However recently my OCCT is showing idle temps of between 85-87c which is just crazy.
because of my tight configuration in the case my the power for the corsair fan became unplugged, and the cpu temp was around 65-70c but with the fan powered against the radiator its 85-87? This is against all of my logic unless there is something i am missing...
So in short... Help! why is my cpu temp so high? is the cooling i have totally useless? i didn't think it would be this bad. Also why is the cpu temp lower when the fan is off?
