Hello everyone i purchased a corsair h100i refurbished a few months back, i always thought the system was running a little hotter than it should be since it's supposed to be water cooling its always been in the 80C range.under a full load.
I have a i5 2500k not overclocked at the moment and my temps are getting hotter than they should be in my eyes itleast.
I have reapplied and applied thermal paste multiple times checked if its sitting on the CPU propperly as well, and still no improvment.
i had it setup in push/pull setup and now i just have it pulling air in and still see no changes.
i'm to the point where i don't know what else to do and almost feel like i waisted money on this unit.
in corsair link it says my pump is above 2200 RPM i dont know if it is supposed to be higher than this and may i remind u this is stock clock i had my system at 4.5 ghz but realized that it was just running to hot for my taste.
here is a picture of my HWmonitor After a IntelBurnTest
and Corsair link open.

Make sure the back plate is properly instaled, check it, if it's right then make the pc run for a while and touch the tubes, they must feel warm , if they are cold, the pump isn't working correctly
