High temps with liquid cooling

Fakiemushroom · Jul 24, 2016

I recently bought the h110i gtx extreme cooler and installed it on my i7 4790k.I runned some test i think that the temps are a little bit to high for a liquid cooler.
Idle:40C
Playing games:60-65C
The cpu is not OC
Is this normal for this cooler?
Edit:I did some stress test with prime95 and i get 100C this is not normal

for a liquid cooler any help would be apreciated

Have you touched the pre applied thermal paste? Is it seated properly? When installing it if you kept shifting it around and reinstalling it you should re apply the thermal paste.

Youplugged both the water pump and the fan?

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

Yes i reinstalled it and reaplied the thermal paste.In idle it still stays 40C but when stress testing it doesnt reach 100C but 75-80C.Still i think its too high

Fakiemushroom :

What is your ambient temperature? Because ambient temperature has a direct effect on your CPU's temperature.

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

About 29C

That's a pretty decent temp if it's that hot in your house.

K then thanks for the help

my ambient tenperature is 34 degrees and i have max 58 gaming (starcraft 2, total war shogun 2,crysis 3, bf4, witcher 3) and it is a cheap 120mm cooler. something si very wrong, can you touch the pump and the tubes see if they vibrate, it might be a dead pump.

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

Yes it vibrates

the only thing i can say is that install the software and see the rpm for fan and pump and increase them until it is ok.

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

The fan is at-1020 rpm
the pump -2820 rpm

You need to install corsair link software and set your pump speed to max. It runs at half speed default, around 1600 rpm. Max speed is 3000~ rpm and it doesn't make more noise but makes a great difference in temps.

How is the radiator mounted, which configuration, intake, push out?

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

push out

Dragos Manea · Jul 25, 2016

and how it is set-up, fan-radiator-case or radiator-fan-case.

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

fan-radiator-case

everything seems fine, you should not have those temperatures, it is very weird.

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

i dont understand what i did wrong i installed it 2 times and i have the same results i change the termal paste

Dragos Manea · Jul 25, 2016

During the stress test the fan rpm increases and if it increases, at 75 degrees it is at 100%?

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

IT is very weird now i am getting 60C at full load and fans at 60% but yesterday i was getting 100C

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

but it still stays in 40C at idle

Fakiemushroom · Jul 25, 2016

Could be a voltage problem?

Dragos Manea · Jul 25, 2016

Idle it doesnt matter, for me idle is around 31 but minimum fan speed is 50%, what it matters is in load and it is more then fine, maybe a fan doesnt make good contact on the plug adn sometimes it stops, who knows.

EDIT: Maybe an error applying the fan speed curve, sometimes it is good to give a reboot and try again.

BTW, mine is 78 in prime95 so that is the temperature you should have.

I think that this idle temp thingy is affecting my MB to it has 36C
