Hello guys!
I have recently had problems with my CPU (i5-4670k) temperatures on idle on about 40 and with prime95 im between 80 and 90 degrees... What I've done so far is change thermal paste, and it did little to nothing, so i guess my cooler is broken, its an h80i.
Before this (2years ago) i had a different AIO water cooler from coolermaster, which also just randomly stopped working.
So i think its time for me to go with an air cooler, what can you guys recommend?

Having an H80i myself, I would say, those seem like reasonable temps based on the load you're putting on that CPU. I found the stock fans on it to be awful, replaced them, and realized a 20°C difference under moderate loads. Under heavy loads, the radiator still saturates and will be warmer than desired. It's just not a powerful AIO cooler.

Make sure the pump is set on the highest setting in the Corsair Link software, and the fans are set reasonably high, if not on full. With the low pump setting, the H80i won't keep my CPU cool under load.
