Help,

I7 6700K
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
Kraken x61

I do not over clock and my voltage is 1.328

When I woke up my PC was off so I tried rebooting but just as I got to the home screen it crash so I tried again and I realised that my kraken was running at full speed (LOUD)

So I went into my BIOS settings and found that temps were starting at 80+ climbing to 89 then it shuts itself down to prevent damage.

Idle temp in Singapore is high 20s to 30 Celsius but normally with my kraken the CPU temps stay 50+ to 60+

 
Solution


The stock voltage for a 6700k is in high 1.2s, i1.328 is a slight overvolt on the core (most people overclocking never go past 1.35v).

Check is the Cpu is also overclocked by some application or something (check the Ghz on full Cpu load).

Have you updated the MB firmware or something recently?, Asus is famous (or infamous) for puting default voltages of 1.3v with default voltages on bios.

hmm i think the pump is working, after switching off the mains and rebooting it 20 minutes later (at the time of this wrtiting) temps are getting back to normal. This time I heard a small gurgling sound on the cooler, im assuming the pump is now working as intended. And yes it is still firmly locked on the CPU. Very weird indeed... Thank you for your help though. Will continue to monitor the next few days and see if its a recurring trend or a one off thing.

Of a fully closed loop i think that yes, it could indicate a leak that makes the pump fail.
