Corsair H80i Will not cool My CPU

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, I bought myself a H80i yesterday, and I was expecting to see some lower temps than the 81c I was getting while stress testing my 3570K with prime95 that I got while using a Noctua NH-9UB. Imagine the shock I got when after I had got everything setup that when doing the same test I instantly hit 105c!!! I took it to my local PC store, and the guy said he had tightened up the connections, ran prime for 3 hours and saw only 71c, but strangely when I got it back here yet again it hit 105!!

 

I really need some advice on how to check everything's running ok, and it's not faulty

Nice to see you resolved your issue zep. Could have popped in and told us. :D:

 

HURRAY!!! I fixed it, I noticed he had put it on upside down and the heat sink logo (Corsair)was vertical instead of horizontal, also the radiator was on upside down. I took off the heat sink, and there was just one tiny corner that the thermal paste had covered. I have now repositioned everything the way it should be and my temps right now running prime @4.4GHz are 64c Max looking on the Corsair website and seeing the way everything was on there got me wondering.
