high cpu temps

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

Hi and thanks in advanced

I have an i7 4790k and a Corsair H80I cpu cooler. I disconnected it before and applied an adequate coating of thermal paste(Coolermaster E1) and connected it all back up.

while idle I'm having temps of minimum 57 and max temps of 64 but when I launch a game these temps sky rocket in to the high 80s and sometimes 100.

iv reseated the cpu cooler and the cpu
iv disconnected everything and connected it all back up
iv applied and cleaned thermal paste.
iv also tried removing any cpu overclock iv had

however I do have bad ram which will be getting RMA later this week but would that cause false cpu temperature readings?

please can anyone help?

hi there!
Have you at all overclocked your cpu?
If so what clock speed have you set it to and what voltage?
-J

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

iv always had it overclocked to 4.4ghz with a voltage of 1.250

at that overclock I had max temps while under load maxing out at 70 now its way above that even set to defaults.

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

You are right, that kind of overclock would not create temps that high. how dusty or blocked is the airflow through your pc?

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

no dust at all cleared the fans etc earlier this week

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

ok then.
how long have you had your all in one cpu cooler, over a long period of time, the fluid can evaporate resulting in an inefficient cooling mechanism?

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

I think I got the cooler in 2014 and I got the cpu in june of 2015

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

then that most likely isnt the problem.
unless its faulty
it may be possible that the ram is causing temp and efficiency issues
only time will tell

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

how do I go about trying to figure out if it is the pumps inside the cooler. do you know?

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

i don't know personally, I'm sure that there are tutorials on how find out. However this may void warranties in some circumstances
corsair link will monitor the pump speed..that's about all I know about pump diagnosis.
may be an option though

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

iv got the corsair link cable here but I haven't a clue how I connect it to the mobo from the cooler

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

a spare usb connection or extension port on the mobo

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

are you sure that the cooler is correctly powered?

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

ok I have it connected

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

good

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

sls2002 :

yeah its all lighting it and I reconnected it the same way that iv been using it

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

ok then
are all fans correctly connected and powered, including the water cooling one

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

it may be the pump

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

how do I add a picture sorry 1st time using this site as a op

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

you need to post a link to an image or video already posted on a website, ie imgur or dropbox

their my temps

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

are there any fans on the aio cooler itself, btw my temps are just shy off 10 degrees less at idle, are the load temps worse?

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

I have the grill on the rear fan. I could have another fan attached to the other side of the grill but I haven't got room

sls2002 · Aug 28, 2016

thats ok as long as it has one, have you looked at ways to check pumps?
there must be some method of diagnosing whether or not the pump is the culprit here.

Chris89lfc · Aug 28, 2016

iv found no diagnose tool but the pump has a max rpm of 2333 and its running now at 2206
