Wombat Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Build is as follows: Intel i7 4790k 4 GHz asrock z97 anniversary Corsair h60 liquid cooler Evga 650 GQ 650watt PSU Evga gtx 970 gpu Just finished gutting my old build from 2009 and replaced the mobo, CPU, GPU and PSU. Upon starting it yesterday morning I was getting idle temps of 27-32C, and at load while playing GTA v and arma 3 on max getting a max temp of 52c. At the end of the day, however, CPU began idling around 67-73c, and even the slightest task makes it jump to 98-99c, which scares me to turn it on for more than a second. So far I've removed the h60 pump, replaced the paste, and reattached. No improvement. I then updated mobo bios, with no improvement. Then I switched the pins from the 3 pin CPU_2 set (radiator fan is on the 4 pin CPU_1 next to it) to the PWR_FAN 3 pin, which I read may give pump a constant charge with no throttling. No improvement. All other fans, including the radiator fan, are running fine, and the radiator fan responds to the heat and cranks up rpm. I used a 3 pin to molex converter to put pump directly to psu, with no improvement. i moved radiator fan to a case fan slot, and plugged pump into both 4 pin cpu_1 and 3 pin cpu_2, and bios shows N/A for fan speeds on both cpu slots. When the radiator fan was on cpu_1 it showed rpm. Any ideas on what may have changed throughout the day to make it do this? I turned it on this morning to see if it just needed a rest, and even booting to bios I watched the temp climb and climb up to 67c idle. The NA in bios for speed seems like a good lead, as ive read that it should read, and read at 4000 rpm? i just have no idea how to fix that. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. I don't wanna nuke my first build in 6 years! The h60 worked fine on my old computer up until the day i rebuilt. 3.2 ghz amd phenom xii black quad core, had pump on cpu_1 (only pins it could reach) and rad fan on cha_fan slot. Nothing over 58c.

Wombat Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Update: pulled it all apart, put stock fan on, idling at 60c and slowly rising on bios, 2000 rpm on fan, +1.824V cpu input. Still quite hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kippsy Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 , +1.824V cpu input. Still quite hot. Bad idle temps would suggest incorrect mounting on the motherboard / CPU. The 1.824 volts reading, not surew what that relates to (Most likely VRIN though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Got it down to 32c idle with stock fan, some spikes to 38. looks like it was likely my pump, then? but now im getting a system service exception BSOD, which i havent seen before, and uguguhguh why me! hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Have you checked the backplate mounting is correct? I'm assuming that an 1150 still has the two screw cut outs on the back plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The slowly rising temperature with the fans blasting usually suggests a flow problem, either pump failure or some kind of blockage. As you mentioned, since the board no longer recognizes the pump in the BIOS, that would be another indicator it is a pump failure. Can't tell you why it picked that moment to let go --- power surge, bad pin contact, who knows. Either way I am afraid you will need to replace it.
