hey, ive recently installed a H80i v2 water cooling to my CPU. and ive been getting problems where my idle temp has been around 45-50°. under stress it has been reaching around 70-75° which isnt good. I have no clue why my temps are high, the water cooling setup is im using it as a exhaust, but my inside case temp is usually 20-30°. heres my specs for any help
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother board: msi Z97 PC mate
GPU: msi GTX 970
CPU: i5 4670k Haswell ( No O.C.) hoping to if temps are sorted out
PSU: corsair RM750 Gold standard
RAM: 2x corsair vengance
HHD: 1tb seagate barracuda
FANS: some corsair silent ones ;)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some mini problems:
the bracket for the cooling when installing was loose but apparently this tightens up when the cooler is installed. im using the thermal paste which came on the cooler.

I'm afraid you bought into the hype of water cooling fortunately it wasn't and AMD processor because the thermal limits are lower than Intel around 100C. There are different thicknesses of the type of cooler you bought and the thin ones are worse. What you will have to do to make is work is get a faster fan that makes more noise to make it work properly and possibly better tim thermal paste. A good air cooler performs the same as water cooling and you haven't even gotten into CPUs that go to 140 watts. If you were going to go with water cooling you should have gone with a 240mm rig.
