Changed fans and my temperate increased ~10 deg C

[rob__cook]

My cpu cooler is the Titan Fenrir EVO CPU Cooler. I was using the default fan (stated: 66.5 CFM ,35db, 2200rpm)
A few days ago that broke quite violently (not really sure how, one of the blades broke) and it made the cooler shake quite a bit.

I've now replaced replaced the fan with an AKASA Viper Fan (stated: 83.63 cfm , 29db , 1900rpm - only hitting a max of 1795rpm ) and the computer is running on average ~10deg hotter when OC'd to 4ghz (80-82 max instead of 68-69 max).

From reading, the Akasa should of at least kept temperatures the same.

Am I missing something? Otherwise I Guess I'll be order some new thermal paste and trying to reseat the cooler.

Thanks, Rob.

Maybe when the fan broke and the cooler shook it became loose and so isn't making correct contact with the CPU's IHS?

Try reseating if you haven't already

I no a little about computers (I built it etc) but would reseating need me to apply more thermal paste?

Thanks for the reply

Its best to clean off the current thermal paste with a product like Arctic Silver ArctiClean Thermal Material Remover, then apply fresh thermal paste.

Thanks, I don't have any currently. I guess I'll order some and then try it.

Thanks for your help

+1 on the reset the heatsink and be sure to use good thermal paste aswell

90%+ isopropyl alcohol is good for cleaning off thermal paste too.
