HI, So I have an i7 7700k processor and I have paired it with corsair hydro h110i 280 mm AIO cooler. But my ideal temps at stock frequency and voltage are around 40-50 degree celcius. I have tried resetting the cooler multiple times, I have tried changing the thermal paste to arctic mx-4. I have tried 4 fans and push, pull, and push-pull methods, and I have tried changing fan and pump speeds to performance in corsair software, but my temps won't go under 40 degree. I have tried testing with side windows open so there is no air flow problem. I have it setup in the front of nzxt s340 case and fans are stock fans are pulling air in. I have two exhaust fans. I tried overclocking it to 4.8ghz at 1.250 volt and when i would stress the fpu, cpu and cache in aida64, temps reach 90c immidiately. Thats on the lowest stable voltage. My motherboard is msi z270 sli. I have read people saying their ideal temps in 20-30c with h110i, so I don't know what i am doing wrong. 40-50c temps at stock settings is too high. Can anybody please tell me if I am doing something wrong. Thanks for help.

I would expect 40C idle temps only if/when you had the cpu perhaps locked at 4.5 GHz with fixed core voltage of 1.248 volts or so....?

When power plan (control panel/power) is set to default of Balanced, the cpu will normally clock itself at only 800 MHz or so with a core voltage of .720 Volts during periods of very light activity, and adjust it's clock speed upwards instantly under load....

Set everything to defaults/auto back in pertaining to clock speeds/cure voltages/multipliers, etc., in BIOS, and let's see what temps are when things are set normally before deciding you have any sort of problem...

You can really only gauge typical idle temps when/if CPU is not really busy downloading things, not running a scan , etc., and, I'd...

You can really only gauge typical idle temps when/if CPU is not really busy downloading things, not running a scan , etc., and, I'd expect to see 30-33C given a 24C ambient indoor temp if sitting at default idle at 800 MHz or so. (If you want me to lock mine at 4.5 GHz to check the temp that way, let me know...)
