Hi,,


Does installing a soundcard will increase the CPU temp? usually my idle CPU temp was 40c, but when the soundcard was installed, it became 50c and when playing music was 60c. When playing an ultra game settings like BF4, my cpu temp goes up at 110c, I paly the BF4 for about 5 mins and just close it, afraid that my cpu will fried. Till now I was just playing DOTA 2 or LOL all at max settings. CPU temp is at 60c-70c but my GPU temp is at 55c-60c . I was looking the temp at my corsairLink software and also in the HWMonitor CPUID.




So, when I install the soundcard, CPU temp goes up and GPU temp goes down, it's like there temperature got exchange.



You're help well greatly appreciated. If you have some suggestions or troubleshooting tips please do share. Thanks!

Sounds like you may need to clear off and reapply some new thermal paste to me.

ensure the push pins are very firmly pushed in, those temps are highish for idle, and very high for load, and no adding a soundcard should not do that.

hey thanks guys for your replies. I did firmly lock my screws in h100i but still the same. I think it really needs a new thermal paste.

the 3570k isn't old enough to really need new thermal paste.

is the pump working?
