Hi there,
I recently was given a i7 4770k processor along with a Intel DZ87KLT-7K motherboard, I already had a Asus geforce gtx 780 DirectCU II OC graphics card and a Intel i5 4570 processor with a stock cooler on it. So I decided to swap the components obviously and bought a Corsair H60 v2 to cool the 4770k as a stock cooler would not have been good enough for the 4770k under load. So I have installed everything and have put it to the test. My gpu is fine running at 28 degrees celcius idle and 73 under load (battlefield 4) but my processor is hitting high temperatures!! At idle all cores are about 38-42 degrees celcius but under load (battlefield 4 and MSI kombustor cpu burner) all cores go up to the mid 90's and 2 at 100 degrees celcius. I know this can't be right for a liquid cooling system. I have a good airflow in my Nzxt h440 case (3xNzxt fans at the front & 3xCorsair SP120 fans at the top exhausting) and then a Corsair SP120 mounted on the radiator at the back exhausting. All fans are running full speed but the pump the fan on the radiator are connected to the motherboard. I don't want to admit as my Corsair H60 v2 is brand new but my guess is that the pump is bad and I will have to send it to corsair in exchange for a working one but I hope that's not the case. Although in the bios the pump's rpm was 4800 so no problem there! Maybe I should order some thermal paste from amazon and try applying that hopefully that will help. I would be grateful for answers and guidance on connections etc different tests.
