Corsair One high temperature

[intoth3rainbow]

Hi guys, I've had my Corsair One for a little over 3 years now (first generation of Corsair One, it's the "pro", with 7700k 1080 GTX) with pretty much no complain or issue whatsoever.

 

Recently, I started noticing my GPU temperature and it's been going up quite a lot.

 

It's usually sitting at 82-83 degree when I keep it at full load for a while :eek:.

 

I remember it was around 68 - 70 degree max back then.

 

Just wondering what I can do to bring it down :sigh!:

 

PS: my CPU Max load is around 83 degree too (but it's been around it since the start so not much issue, plus I don't stress the CPU much anyway)

Hi there,

 

It may be the case that you need new thermal paste for your GPU. If you are comfortable working on your system, that's a good place to start. 3+ years is enough to make the paste lose its effectiveness. I would also do the same for the CPU even if there is not much difference from when it was brand new.

You are right, I think it's probably the time I should do it, I am a bit scared because it's already out of warranty and if I screw it up I won't be able to get it fixed easily though :(:

 

Anyway, I also tried to undervolt it, so far actually quite good temp result - with no problem in stability. I will keep it going like that for a while to see how.

Yea it's time to paste again. Everybody who has the OG C1's seems to be having the same issues lately. Repaste and keepin on!
