Hello everyone, I have been having some CPU temperature issues that can get pretty extreme at times. I am using an i7 4930K with a Corsair H60 for the cooling. The processor is not overclocked at all. Basically the temperatures are anywhere between 60-75 when idle and if I do anything such as start a game or even sometimes when I open Chrome, they will shoot up to 85+. Games will take it over 90 C.
I have taken everything apart and dusted it all, including the radiator. I used 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the CPU case and the heatsink before reapplying the thermal paste. I reapplied thermal paste probably 3 times now. I used the spread technique as well as the dot technique when applying it. The pump has been plugged into every different header on the motherboard that I could find. Temps are still out of control.
All of the fans are working, the tubes are firm when the pump is on, one tube is warm and the other is cold. The radiator is never warm to touch however the unit right above the CPU is very warm. I have an Asus Rampage IV Black Motherboard so I have been using the AI Suite. It shows the pump (which is currently in Chassis Fan 1 Header) at 4800 RPM.
Even every core is between 1-5% load, I am seeing temps in the high 60 into the 70 C range.
Really not sure what to do from here. Any ideas on what could be going wrong before I get into buying new parts?
