Hey guys. I am an avid gamer and lately I have been having lag issues. I for one was thinking this is a problem of overheating as I have had some toruble with that in the past. Usually it has been good for a couple of months after I go through and clean all the fans and filters, but this time to no avail. I even bought new thermal paste and compressed air to get out dust of those extra tricky places (as well as in the graphics card).
As said I have vacuumed, used paper towels/cloth, compressed air and even a small plier to pull out hairs, and still the computer is overheating - or so I think. I have checked with two tools; Core temp, and HWMonitor. It shows all my 6 cores idling at around 82-95 celsius degrees (even with the entire side of my case taken off). I reckon this is far too high. Any one have any tips?
I have a Stryker tower. One big exhaust fan in the top. Two fans in the front side facing the HDD/SDD. And one exhaust fan in the back, which also cools down the element for the heatsink for the CPU. There is also a very small fan in my graphics card.
Windows 10 64 bit.
Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz (12 CPUs).
16 GB RAM.
Graphics Card: Nvidia Gefoce GTX Titan Z
Corsair H55 Hydro Series CPU Cooler
Corsair stickers on most of the stuff in my cabinet. Corsair fan with two tubes going to the heatsink on the CPU. Assuming it's just cold and warm air or water.
TL;DR:
CPU at 90 C degrees idle. Halp.
PS: Also open for any suggestions on how to improve the post, or improvements to my rig, as I feel like the computer could be way better.
