Hello everyone,

So when I first got my i7 7700k I paired it with a 212 evo and kept getting random spikes. It would jump from 60 C to 80 C then back to 60 C and it made the fan rev up and down constantly creating allot of disturbance.

I thought maybe the cooler might be too expensive so I bought a Cryorig C7 and tried that and even though I don't get too many fluctuating temps as I used to, while gaming for just 5-10min my i7 heats up between 90-100C.

Keep in mind I tried installing these coolers multiple times to make sure I installed them correctly and my idle temps while I have nothing opened is between 30-35 C. Any ideas? Thanks.

To be honest the C7 is kinda weak of a cooler and you're probably better with something like a H7 as I have a 7700k with a Cryorig H7 cooler and it does a good job.
