Hello. So about a month ago my computer started crashing almost daily if I played games like WoW or Divinity Original sin. I've been using CoreTemp for almost 3 years now, and I noticed that while playing Divinity, while having literally everything closed except skype to speak with my friend, the temps would go to 80-95 C and my computer would shut down. So, after this I looked for possible help from friends and internet, so first things first I bought Coollaboratory liquid pro thermal paste, cleaned my PC off all dust for a good 2 hours, cleaned off the old thermal paste with isopropyl and added the new thermal paste. I noticed that the temperatures had lowered a bit, now my idle temps were around 35-50, and while I played Divinity (once again, with everything closed except the game and skype) the temps would go to 70-85, and my computer wouldn't crash. However, this only lasted for like a week or two, and now its back to the same 85-95 C and constant crashing. So I'm a bit baffled here. I started googling about the water cooler I have, and I'm suspecting that the problem would be there. However, I'm not sure how to identify whether the water cooler is actually broken or not. I bought all the components to my computer in the summer of 2014 and the water cooler has a 5 year warranty, so I can RMA it, but I first want to find out how I can know that the problem is in the water cooler (so far by the process of elimination I've leaned towards a broken water cooler, but I don't think thats a good enough explanation if I RMA it lol.) Also I checked that my fans are working and running at full speed, and indeed they were.
So here's my computer specs once again:
cpu: i7-4790k cpu @ 4.00 GHz
gpu: nvidia gtx 780 ti
water cooler: corsair hydro h110
Thank you in advance!
