Like already mentioned I have my i7-7700k (not oc) on asus z270e mainboard, and a corsair h100iv2 to cool the cpu. At idle my temps are about 40C, I've set the aio mode in corsair link on performance (max power) . And while playing, my temps go up to 76C. Ive done a prime 95 stress test for 3 minutes and reached temps up to 93C. Eventough these temps are no real thread to the cpu they seem pretty high in my eyes with a completely maxed out aio. Do you have any suggestions for me ? :)
 
Solution
I use only Noctua fans and cooler, quieter and cooler. Try Thermal Grizzly Conductonaught. I used it on my i7 8700k and dropped 20c. Just watch some videos on how to apply it, safety reasons.

Hey man, this definitely sounds like a cooling issue that you really shouldn't be experiencing. In order for the radiator to cool your processor there has to be air getting to it. Are all of your fans working and/or filters clear of dust? Also, does your PC have space to breath? Lastly when was the last time you reapplied heat sink paste and what kind did you use?

Edit:

Comfortable temperatures for your CPU to last long should have it sitting at around 65-70. Maybe even lower but, that is more personal preference.

First, thanks for a quick answer,
i have the phantex enthoo evolve case that is standing in the middle of my table, So there is enough fresh air in and around the case. All of the fans are working; I built the pc december 2017, and I havent applied any more thermal paste, ecxept for the preinstalled thermal paste on the pump of my aio.
Can you suggest me a good thermal paste or even liquid metal that could help me with these temperatures.
Also yesterday i ordered noctuas nf-f14 fans, for my radiator. The corsair fans are just too loud. So I hope that the fans cane improve the temps even a bit more.

Hey gtr-22
Did you delidd your CPU or did you applied the liquid Metal on top of the Heat spreader of the CPU. And when doing this, do I also have to apply the liquid metal on the Pump .
