6700k idle temp issue.

mikeyboehm · Jan 13, 2019

So I'm not the most tech savy person in the world, but I can follow directions well enough to build and maintain my pc's health.

My typical Idle temps when idle were 27/28c. That's pretty good from what I know. My temps under heavy load while gaming were around 55c, also pretty good.

Today i went into my ASUS Fan Xpert3 to label all my fans and where they are. When i selected my CPU cooling fan (H100i by corsair) I noticed the "smart mode"and "RPM fix mode". Prior to this I have never selected the RPM fix mode and let smart mode be smart. Today I selected fixed RPM and put it max just to test for about 5 seconds only. I heard a slurp type sound come from the cooler. The LED corsair light switched to white and even went off. I switched it back to smart mode promptly as I wasn't exactly sure what was going on there. I restarted and let my idle temps regulate and now I'm sitting at a 40c idle temp. That's a pretty significant jump for no apparent reason.
I'm also not overclocked on my cpu. Sitting at stock 4.0

Any system specs that would help figure out a solution I'll gladly add.

Can you watch your temps in another software just to ensure is not that software?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm currently monitoring it from both Asus suite and Corsair link. Both temps are identical on both platforms.

The slurp sound doesn´t sound right =(. Do your temps get over 70C while gaming or do they remain stable?

I have never had temps over 70c or even 60c for that matter. Today under heavy gaming load i was monitoring, and for the first time ever i reached 62c. A typical high temp under heavy gaming load would be like 55/58c for me. A standard temp while under heavy gaming load is about 48c.

So to see my idle temp sitting at 40/42 is a bit odd. My OCD is overclocked right now haha

XD. I still dont get it how is possible that gaming you get 48-50c and on idle you get 40 it makes no sense. Try entering the BIOS after gaming and stay in there for some time and see if the temps remain on the 40s
