Hello
i am getting very high temps for some reason with using the corsair h100i on a 3770k on stock clocks. I read online that it could be a problem with the backplate, and it can be fitted incorrectly because in the instructions it was not clear on how to fit it.
I double checked it and indeed that was the case, so i bought some Arctic silver 5 Thermal paste and installed the h100i correctly however i am still getting there high temps.
While playing battlefield 3 the cpu is going up to 65 degrees and sometimes even higher. With Prime95 the cpu is around 70c at full load.
This really put be down because i really wanted to overclock the cpu, because i also do a lot of 3d modeling and rendering, thus overclocking will really help me speed up the process.
at idle i get around 35-40c and i dont have a thermometer but the room is fairly cool i'd say 20c.I have tried various arrangements of fans and airflow within my case, but this has bout no luck.
my friend has the same processor and he has the corsair h100, and he says that at full load he is getting around 40-45c at a 4.4 overclock, so clearly there is something wrong.
After stress tests and games, the temperature plummets quickly from around 70 back to 40, so i guess that means that the h100i is doing its job well? so could it be something else that is causing the problem?
another thing i noticed is that both at idle and at full load the fans on the h100i dont really spin up or down they stay at a regular rpm, i wanted to see if i can adjust the speed in the corsair link software. or put it so it automatically adjusts, however since i upgraded to windows 8.1 the corsair software no longer recognizes the h100i and thus i can no longer adjust the fan speeds
any help or info will be highly appreciated.
