Hey guys! So just yesterday I took apart my PC, gave her a dusting and switched everything into a new case.(Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Steel / Plastic compact ATX Mid Tower Case to be exact.) In the process I also switched my graphics card from a GTX 660ti to the GTX 1080 Founders Edition.
I checked compatability of the graphics card with all my peripherals knowing some might be out dated but apparently was good to go. (Will post all specs at the end.) Got everything set up and running and drivers for the basic things installed but noticed my CPU at idle was sitting at about 30 degrees C. I ran Prime95 and my PC made it about 6 minutes before shutting down.
I use a corsair H60 Water Cooling and looked to see what could be troubleshot with that. The back bracket was on incorrectly but I fixed it and the CPU temp remained the same. Everything was installed following the manual and a more specific thread regarding the H60 installation. I used Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste following the verticle line method and used what seemed like a good amount. (After wiping down the paste from the last application off both the heatsink and CPU with alcohol.
I'm using the stock H60 fan pulling in cool air from outside through the filter, another fan of the same size at the top of the case blowing the hot air out of the pc, and one more small fan of the same size on the side pulling cool air and blowing it directly on the GPU and CPU. Any Help appreciated!
SPECS:
MOBO: Asus p8Z77 - V LE
CPU: i7 2600k @3.4ghz
GPU: MSI GTX 1080 Founders Edition
PSU: OCZ700SXS
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD (Running Windows 2)
1 TB WD HDD/ 500GB WD HDD
Cooling: Corsair H60 Water Cooling
