I have a strange and unhealthy attraction to intel products, and so while recently rebuilding my machine from the bottom up (after frying my last cpu because I was struck with the genius idea of installing a bluray burner while the still hooked up to power hehe) and decided to institute the intel BXTS13X liquid cooling system along the way. I am running it on an RMA replacement i7-4790k and was hoping to overclock it at some point... I followed instructions on installation to the letter and even watched the youtube video to see if I missed something. I have tried more silicon guck and less and neither seem to really make much difference.
I also pimped my case with ~5 of those 3000 rpm noctua case fans just to see what would happen.. small improvement, but this is still not normal. I hit 50C just browsing the web, and if I start doing anything remotely power intensive, like have 3 different browsers with many tabs open (crazy i know) and maybe filezilla downloading some stuff- temps will break 70 or even 75C and i get notifications to shut down. this is really strange i think...
anyways any advice would be greatly appreciated
1 think that may be relevant is.. after the first burnout of my comp i replaced the motherboard as well. interestingly though I didnt need to reset OS (wind 7/8.1/xubuntu), so i am thinking a clean software reset might help, but i'd like someone less dumb than me to give some input as i hate to have to reset.
thank you
