I have an i5-7600k, its overclocked 4.6GH, 1.26V.
My cooler is an h100i v2, push pull with 4 fans, two fans pull air from outside the case in, the second fans pull it through the radiator.
My idle has been pretty weird lately, for example it used to be decently low, 30, now it is sitting at 40 degrees, jumping up to 50 every so often with only firefox and discord running, usually 30-35 like I said. Doesn't make much sense with this cooler, even raising my fan curve, nothing seems to do anything. Is it the thermal paste? I have the stock paste on the block so..
Even at 3% load its running 42, and keeps jumping to 50 when windows decides to be stupid and make simple processes use 50% CPU.
It fluctuates a lot, here is a video I recorded, look how when the load goes up a little bit the temperature spikes up to 50, It makes 0 sense.

Update:
Alright so I decided to do a prime test, I maxed out at around 85 in a couple of minutes, which is already higher than I used to get. I usually maxed out at around 75. Temps just don't make sense.

I might just RMA it if needed, I heard it may be air in the tubes, corrosion, or just crud in the pipes blocking it.
