Hi all
I recently though I do a little maintenance with my computer still a new build for me and though I have a little re-shuffle to help air flow and generally just look a little more organised inside.
after boot up I though I check my temp readings and found my CPU seems to now be running hotter at idle it seems to be around 40c when previously idle it would of run at 25c I'm assuming that I have done something wrong so I will place a list of hardware and also what I changed.
also I did check all forums and most say this is a normal temperature (40c) for my CPU but if I was running lower on idle Previously then I must of done something?
also I am unable to find a way to make my system run at full load for higher temperature readings even when gaming so cannot provide accurate temp readings for this.
System Specs:
OS - Win 8
CPU - AMD 8320
CPU Liquid Cooler - Kuhler H2O 620
MOBO - AMD 990FX Extreme 3
RAM - Kingston Hyper X Beast 16Gb kit (2x8Gb) 2133Mhz
GPU - XFX 7770 core edition
PSU - Corsair CX750
HDD - 1 TB Western Digital Green 64mb cache 7200 RPM
Things I did when reorganised.
Re-seated CPU heat sink and put new thermal paste on nice and equal.
Turn the liquid radiator the proper way round so tubes were at bottom instead at top (was reading on the official Kuhler website this is how it is meant to be).
Re-seated Ram to work properly in dual channel instead of independently from each other.
and general cable assorting.
I have built computers before for personal use this one was my first to add liquid cooling and a 8 core CPU and also did work in the IT trade for about 5 years so do have knowledge (mostly Desktop Support and Hardware Installation Support) but for the life of me I cannot work out what I may of done if anything wrong or have I just corrected things to how they are meant to be .
also I'm UK based if that helps.
I would really appreciate good feedback regarding this ASAP.
Thank you all for reading!
