Just upgraded my build to watercooling, and the temps I am getting do not seem normal at all.
Before I jump into detail...
PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xWR3jc
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 280 64.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z270 SLI PLUS ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage: ADATA Premier SP550 480GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
When I first booted up my PC and went to BIOS, the initial temp there were 44C to 45C. Move on to idle on Windows, I get 39C to 43C. When I start putting a load onto the CPU, tempatures jump up into the 70's really quick and start to hit mid to high 80's not long after. Even hit 90C at one point and probably would have gotten up into the 90's had I not quit some processes. The load did not even pass 17% according to RealTemp. Also, the watercooler was extremely loud at this 17% load, to the point where it sounded not normal.
I stream on Twitch, so I have a game running (H1Z1), Spotify, OBS Studio, plus quite a few other programs and things running. I used to be using a $20 Heatsink + Fan before this and did not see temps over 80C, so something has got to be wrong. I don't really think the Cooler is seated wrong. I applied the right amount of thermal paste, and it's mounted as it should be.
P.S: I have two things on my MOBO called CPU_FAN1 and PUMP_FAN1, I'm not sure which to plug the water cooler base into, and the radiator fan splitter into.
Appreciate any help that can be provided, I don't really know what other information to add so ask as many questions as you need.
