I've just built a new rig running a 4790k@4ghz With a H100i cpu cooler. replaced with SP 120 fans
Running initially the temp would be 40 idle with Stock thermal paste. Prime 95 test 100c at load.. I ran the test for only a few seconds and shut it off. Needless to say I was concerned. I thought maybe if I upped the quality of Thermal Paste with a reseat of the cooler might fix things.
I then switched thermal paste (artic silver 5) and reset/remounted the cooler.
My idle temp raised to 45c. Can anyone give me a few things that I could test to help resolve this issue?
Here is my complete Rig
