Knuck3ls Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm concerned with the temps I am getting on my processor with my new h100i. I'm running a Sabertooth Z77 with i7-2600k OC to 4.2ghz @ 1.24~ vcore. Radiator top mounted with fans as exhaust and a corsair high performance 120mm fan as an intake behind the heat sink. TIM replaced with artic silver 5. I have fan profile set to performance, pump is reading 2000rpm and no grinding noise, fan noise, etc.... And firmware has been upgraded. My hyper 212 with a 4.5ghz overclock wouldn't pass 70c during prime 95, h100i is passing 85c after 10 minutes. I'm pretty confident in my heat sink mounting and TIM application but I guess I could attempt it again if someone thinks thats why i am getting these horrible temps. As it is right now I'm just upset I even bought this to replace a $40 air cooler that outperforms a $120 CL cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoxtxt Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I believe there is something wrong with the pump (mines work @ 2250RPM all the time) or the installation, check out my temps (2700K @ 4700Mhz 1.31v HT off): http://i.imgur.com/LI4ENl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuck3ls Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I will double check the exact RPMs of pump when I get home, I was going from memory and I was fairly certain it was at about 2000....so the unit is capable of good temps, that was my biggest concern, but I thank you much for that screen makes me feel better about the unit, I just need a working one or need to check my seating. Are you running stock fans? Exhaust? Push pull or anything else special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripshod Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 These hydro pumps run anywhere between 1950 and 2250, so you're well within spec, Mines showing 2150 atm. I've seen an i7 (2550K I think) maxing @ 56-60C under stress on a H80i. I'm suspecting the block hasn't seated right. When you take it off check it's not hitting any capacitors round the socket ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveInline Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My 3930k @ 4.8ghz/1.39v holds 78-80c with an ambient temp of 20c with 100% load in prime95, and the six cores intel are quite hot compared to the quad core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuck3ls Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Okso my temps are definitely suspect per what you guys are reporting. I will try reseating again. Do you guys have a preferred method of TIM application? Spread yourself or pea sized amount, seat and twist left and right a little and secure? I've also read some complaints from people about the heat sink appearing to not completely seat flush, but I believe that was with h100, has any reported anything like that with the "I" version?

Knuck3ls Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just wanted to post update: I made a pretty stupid mistake, kind of embarrassed to even say what it was, but just in case anyone else has the issue.... I didn't put the back plate on correctly and the heatsink wasn't tightening down flush. Sigh. So, i7-2600k: 4.4GHz @ 1.256 V Highest temp so far, 60c. Love Corsair all over again, just wish I wasn't an idiot sometimes! Cheers guys, thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even professionals make that very same mistake, so don't sweat. Love Corsair all over again Welcome to the cool side. Glad to see your situation resolved ;)::biggrin::biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamrox Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 do I have to use the back plate for the 2011 socket ??? I hope I didnt messed it up :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripshod Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Always better to use the supplied hardware. Often the replacement backplates are stronger than the original, better for screwing the cooler down tighter. Do that with the stock backplate you risk bending it AND your motherboard with it.
