Idle Dekstop Temps : 38 C - 45 C
Full Load Temps : 50 C - 65 C

When I enable the XMP Profile in Bios of my Asus x99-a motherboard to allow my ram
to operate at the 2800Mhz that the sticks are able to go up to, instead of the 2133.
My CPU temps rise by a lot, and I am unsure what I can do, I tried to enable a Fan Curve on my
H55 but nothing changed on my Temps. I am unsure if it is my CPU or my Cooler, or what else
it could be.

Idle (With XMP) : 50 C - 53 C
Full Load : 67 C - 81 C

Motherboard : Asus x99-a
GPU : Gtx 960 4GB
Processor : 5820K
Ram : Brand Unknown, 32GB 2800 (With XMP) 2133 without XMP.

I did see a performance gap between applying the XMP Profile, but currently defaulted the Bios settings to avoid any malfunctions before I can pinpoint the main source of the issue.

There is one 120mm fan on the front, and along with the H55 on the back.

Nah. That cpu sup ports up to 2133, stable, out of the box. It should be able to run up to 3000 no problem, they just don't guarantee it. Either speed has no affect on temperature. Now XMP probably over clocks the processor as well, which will increase its temperature. But your normal temps are high, which is why I think it's a cooling problem.

That cooler is not going to keep it 40c less under load. If i remember, 50-55 was normal for it. Could be mistaken though. Feel the panels on the case after the system is under load for a bit, are they warm? Do the temps drop over time if you take a side panel off? Are you certain you put enough thermal paste? (you can hardly put too much, theres proof of that) Are all the bolts securing the cooler and the backplate to the motherboard tight?

I can test taking off the side panel, haven't done so in a while. As for the Thermal Paste, this is a Pre-Built and I haven't removed any components so if something happens I can use the warranty but after the matter I will probably do some modifications. I would say that the bolts are tight from just looking. But I can do a brief run through of the PC, and restart with XMP enabled to see what might occur along with taking off the side panel during those tests as well.

Yeah try the panel because only one fan bringing cool air in is usually not enough. That's likely the culprit. The other possibility is that the thermal paste is not applied correctly. Though since you didn't build it yourself I'd assume it was applied correctly. Keep me posted.

Well. I just thought of the culprit actually. I just looked at Intel's Website and saw that the 5820K supported up to 2133. If I Overclock the RAM basically then I am doing something unsupported by the CPU, maybe that is why issue occur making the CPU unstable?
