So i got my i5-3570k with Gigabyte Z77M-D3H overclocked to 4.2GHz and the temp jumps to 90C while playing BF4 online which makes my PC freezes. I am using Corsair h60 to cool my CPU but when i checked using speedfan, I noticed my CPU temp jumps from 50C+ to 90C+ in just a few seconds. The radiator is not hot at all. Oh, i use Artic MX5 as my thermal compound. I decided to set the CPU to it's normal state and still no luck. The temp still jumps to 90C and sometimes even 105C. Idle temp is between 45-50C on 3.4GHz with Corsair h60 which is not normal for me. I have my 4GB kingston 1333mhz ram overclocked to 1600mhz, 2x4GB Corsair vengeance 1600MHZ. In addition, i can't change my CPU fan speed on speedfan. It reads 1600+rpm but usually my corsair fan would run at 2000+rpm. All my fan is running on lower rpm now. I have no idea why and how. I have a reference 770 and FSP 500W Gold psu. My PSU can run fx6300 and 770 so i think power delivery is not a problem since i5-3570k only takes 77W while 6300 takes 95W. I also re-applied the thermal compound, use intel stock fan, replaced to another kind of thermal compound, no luck.
Can someone help me out or i have to buy a new CPU cooler. If i have to buy a new one, I think i will grab the V8 GTS. Can the V8 GTS fit in my elite 311? thanks for helping!

Yep, sounds like exactly what I thought, pump seems to be failing. Heat's being transferred to the CPU block, but doesn't seem to be circulating out, or at least not very efficiently. Unfortunately for pre-made cloosed-loop systems, there's no way to really get into the...

Your PSU spits out 36 Amps of continuous power. Your GPU requires 42 Amps of continuous power.

Back to wattage:
Your CPU: 77W
Your GPU: 504W

That's not even considering your Mobo, HDD's, Fans etc.

Your GPU is underpowered for your build, and therfore your cooling is choking out.

Please read the thread properly. I used to have FX6300 + ASRock 970 Pro R2.0 installed and it works just fine. No overheating problem at all. My cooling is choking out? the heatsink is not even hot at all but my CPU is overheating (newly applied artic silver 5). FYI, my psu delivers 39A of continuous power. GPU is said to work fine between 39-42A. 42A is for overclocking. only 2 fans and 1 HDD.

You need amperage for other components, such as your CPU.
Just because your rig managed to hold together in the past, does not mean that your PSU is actually powerful enough to reliably power your machine. And I did read the thread properly buckaroo, no need to get pissy. Do you hear your H60 pump running? There have been cases in the past where user's H50 and H60 series pumps would die, causing no heat to be transferred at all.

As i stated, i used to run the same exact setup with more power hungry cpu and motherboard. So my psu wont be a problem delivering power to less power hungry cpu. The pump block is hot hut the radiator and the tube is not hot at all. I guess the problem is the pump? Is there any way i can fix it? I can feel the copper block is very hot but the rest of the h60 is not. Sorry for being "pissy". Didnt intend to do so. Haven't slept all night just to fix this thing.

Unfortunately for pre-made cloosed-loop systems, there's no way to really get into the internals without both spilling the coolant everywhere, and voiding the warranty, that is if it's still active. I'd try to contact Corsair about the problem, as that really seems to be the only thing you can do.

PS: If your PSu can handle it, I'll take your word for it. I know I've built rigs with 'theoretically' insufficient wattage that worked fine.

Seeming as the mounting holes don't actually affect the mechanics of it, I wouldn't think so. If you had stepped on the pump, or snapped the radiator in half though, those would be times where it'd most likely be denied. It's also pretty funny you say that, because I did the exact same thing when I had the H60. I ended up having to zip-tie the fans through the radiator due to the holes being too loose.

Where are you getting this number from?

Amps x Volts = Watts
The GPU manufacture recommends an amperage of 42, multiplied by an input of the 12V rail = 504 Watts of power.

If the GPU is a GTX770 then it is a 230w card according to the GPU manufacturer who also make no mention of a 42 amp requirement on the specification page.
