Hello All so i have a i7-6700k it was OC to 4.6ghz...so 2 days ago i was playing destiny 2 and i noticed my water block (Corsair 110I V2) was blinking red once in a while...this has never happened..check temps and i was hitting over 85C .so the next day i removed the block and cleaned the thermal grease and re applied some...temps were hitting 55C at idle and just over 80 while in destiny not really doing much....so i thought well maybe my Cooler may not be moving th water properly or something (even though Pump RPM was at 2200) ...so today i bought a new cooler (Same kind) and temps were still the same ...so i ended up doing a push/pull on my radiator as a intake and i removed my OC on it....im now sitting at about 40C at idle on the package (a few cores are low 30s)...started playing destiny and my Temps were at around 60C .......the ni remembered i had done a fire-strike test when i had just gotten the CPU (with the 15% OC) )and it never went over 44C during the whole test....so i re did the test today but my CPU got up to about 57C......Could this mean my CPU may be going bad???
