kiwikoon Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi guys I have had a few blue screens lately, after checking, I noticed my CPU (4670k) was running pretty hot. When I built my system (late January 2014) the H80i preformed fine. Idle temps were about 30-35º and load of about 60-65º at stock clock frequency and voltage (3.4GHz, 1.17 volts). It now sits at 40-50º idle and 95-100º under load (stock clock/voltage). Naturally I went and checked all the obvious factors, these include: -Cleaning radiator and fans -Ensuring correct fan configuration -Removing, cleaning and refitting the water block and CPU, with new TIM (MX-4) -Ensuring correct application of TIM and good contact between copper and CPU -Ensuring all involved cables were connected and in proper place -Updating Corsair Link to version 2.5 and H80i firmware to v1.0.5 -Running copious amounts of stress tests, etc Corsair link says the unit IS pumping (RPM 2000-2300 ish). The fans are defiantly spinning and moving lots of air, but turning the fans up does not affect the CPU temp, and the radiator feels cool to touch (no warmth). This leads me to believe it is a pump issue. There is a lot of sloshing of liquid in the radiator but I am told this is normal. However, I can feel vibrations of the pump through the hose. I manually set the voltage to 1.17 volts, and turned off the voltage control thing in the BIOS, so varying voltage is not contributing to these high temps. I feel I have tried everything, has anyone else had this type of trouble? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 if your getting bsod's,its likely in a bios setting high temps and or a bad hydro will not cause this. id revert to a standard bios and check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Im having a similar issue. About 3 months back i got the H80i and fitted it to my 3960X. I was super impressed with the performance, idling about 25c, and at 4.8Ghz 1.38v, it was doing Prime95 Small FFT at no more than 75c. A couple days back, my PC rebooted without me knowing, and then my OC seemed unstable, although had passed multiple hours of Prime95 Blend with 12GB ram tested. Now i come back to Prime95, and my idle temps are 35c, and load temps are 85c+ Not sure whats happened, but checked the H80i dust filter, removed it and just left the rad out the case to get it as cool as possible and put fans on max speed. Still i hit 85c+. None of my voltages have changed so im not sure why the huge drop in performance. Checked the block mounting screws and they are tight as they can go. The PC was transported in a car for a short journey, but i dont see how that could effect a block that is as attached as tight as possible. Havent got a chance to reseat yet, but its very odd. Also my OC uses offset Vcore, and 90% of the time its been sitting at 1.2Ghz 0.8v.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Any advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 id do a bios reset and run it,sounds like your oc failed leaving a voltage setting ,,this can cause higher temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 CMOS already reset and offset reapplied for 1.38v load vcore in CPUz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 you may have shaken it up causing air bubbles in the pump,,trying tapping on the block and laying it on its side for a few hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 My board sits on the right hand side of the case looking from the front. The radiator is at the bottom of the case as intake config. So I should lay my case on its right hand panel so the mobo faces up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 lay it where the back of the block faces down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Heres a pic of the internals http://i.imgur.com/9M58f87.jpg I can hear water inside the rad bubbling if i put my ear at the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 k,looking from the front,turn to the right on its side,sounds like air in the pump that should be at the top of the rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 How long should i leave it like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 for a few hours and may sound silly but do tap on the block,it must be air to happen like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ah ok I will try it. Will let it run and reply tomorrow Thanks Edit: Opened PC up, can hear lots of bubbles in the pump now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ah ok I will try it. Will let it run and reply tomorrow Thanks ill be here,same time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sounds exactly like this, except even more frequent bubble sounds [ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU17UBqmIis]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU17UBqmIis[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overheated Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Tell me if iam wrong but i think u need the hoses of the resevoir mounted downside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 ive been told orientation doesnt matter but personally i feel it would work best if the hoses were down with the rad as high or higher than the block... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I cant change anything due to the layout of this case unfortunately. There is a fan in the way above the rad, so i cant turn the rad 90* to have the hoses at the top. And i don't think it will fit at the rear exhaust. Definitely wont fit on the top exhaust. Heres a video [ame= ] [/ame] Moved the rad and the noise got worse... temps too, now at stock clocks, before moving rad 62c prime95 Small FFT, now 70c straight away. Almost sounds like something grinding against a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasjeet Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The sound is unbearable, so i put the case back on its feet so the block is vertical, and the sound has gone. So this doesnt sound like air in the system, its the pump rattling when the pump is horizontal. Maybe the pump is losing performance causing the increase in temps?

overheated Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Got also the same result , case horizontal and the pump is grinding Had only cpu and pump on power , and when vertical a slushing sound Like the waterpump in my fishtank ? Also tried to remove air by keeping the resevoir higher then pump but noavail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
