Hello!

I noticed the temprature when I was finished installing new ram.
This temprature varies and I have tried some solutions but nothing has worked this far.

These are my specs :

CPU :
Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology

CPU cooler :
Hydro H60 v2 (radiator)

RAM :
16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)

Motherboard :
B85-PRO GAMER (SOCKET 1150) (asus)

GPU :
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (MSI)
it got 2 fans and got normal tempratures 30-40 idle, 60-70 under load.

Storage :
232GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB (SSD)
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 (SATA) (dead, being replaced soon)

PSU :
I don't know the sort but its 550 wats probably produced in 2012-2013 (I haven't replaced this ever)
let me know if you want to know what kind it is, and I'll check it later.

Case :
Cooler master 690 II

Fans / airflow information :
1x 140mm fan exhausting air out the top.
1x 140mm fan intaking air in the front.
(cpu fan) 1x 120mm attached on the rear with a radiator

Solutions I have tried :
1. I reapplied thermal paste and for a few days everything seemed fine, it was around 60-70C under load and 30-40 idle but a week later I checked and I had the same issue.

2. Rotate the fan so it exhausts air out the back but doesn't work well since my radiator is on the back of it so.. (i think) i sticked with it intaking air.

Due to my case interior design I can't have my radiator attached first so my fan is attached first at the rear then the radiator 2.nd, the fan is intaking air into the radiator. (pics below)

PS : I'm getting a new case very soon, I can replace the radiator then to the top and have a proper rear fan that exhausts air. (H700i)


 
As you were getting 30's C idle and max 70's C at load after reapllying the thermal paste and then it has gone back to vey high temps,it could be the pump thats on its way out...How old is the H60?

And what are the temps at idle and load now?....

I got another but unfortunately it doesn't fit, I ordered an air cooler and I'll update if everything is okay or not, thanks!
Approximately arrival date is 1-2 days.
