Hey guys, just wanted to get some input on why my heatsink isn't keeping my cpu temps lower then what they are.
Currently the heatsink is keeping my pc at 25-30c with 1% load. When it jumps to 100% on stress tests, it goes up to 70-78. I don't get why its running so hot, the heatsink is a good quality so i don't know why its not keeping it cooler..
I did have to disable the top 200mm case fan, because a blade broke off and was causing my tower to vibrate. Could that be why the temp's are a little hotter? Any feedback would be appreciated, I have read that other people using the same heatsink are getting 40-50 C under 100%.
My CPU is sa i7-3770K. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
