CPU running too hot

dannytlfc01 · Jan 15, 2014

I have an amd 8120 and a corsair h100i but whenever I try to game on things like bf4 it overheats and it is a really annoying problem
Are there any suggestions as to what I could do to improve temps
Thanks in advance

Unless you have a crazy OC on that CPU no way it should overheat....

Recheck your installation on the h100i, fans blowing fresh air over the radiators (not hot exhaust air). You did use the correct about of thermal paste, right?

should i change it form pull to push perhaps
and the h100i come with pre applied thermal paste

dannytlfc01 :

What temps does it display when you attempt to game? Are both fans blowing? Is it securely attached. I need your specs to rule out other causes but there are no issues with display errors on that mobo series. Did you ever use the Stock Fan with that CPU?

I recently changed CPU cooler from stock to h100i
It usually goes to 45 Celsius then gets impossible to game
All fans are working
