Faze Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm not sure if this is what it should be, but based on a LOT of forum surfing and lurking I feel as if though my temps are way too high with this H100i. My TJMax is 100°C and I'm hitting it at full load with prime95. http://puu.sh/3eo3z.jpg What am I doing wrong? My fans are set for exhaust. I reapplied thermal compound (Arctic Silver 5) multiple times after cleaning it off in very small amounts/diff methods (half-pea, line, cross) None of the different methods give me any cooler temps. My CPU voltage is set at 1.330V. Overclocked to 4.5ghz. Any help would be greatly appreciated! i7-4770k Processor, Z87 Sabertooth Motherboard, NZXT Phantom Series Full Tower Case, H100i Cooler are all present in my system. My rooms temperature is 15.5°C (60°F) http://puu.sh/3eolt.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 try going back on oc.,maybe the 4770 is putting out too much heat the h100i are good coolers but past 4.4 its stressful. rechecking tim may be a good idea after that. having multiple monitoring programs running together can mess up readings...

Faze Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks, I'll try that, but I managed to reach 4.3 with stock cooler and run Prime95 fine without a crash, temps never got this high as well >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 with my 3770k.,4.3 was the highest i could go and stay cool . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faze Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 With the H100i? What are your temps like at 100% load and whats your core voltage set at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 cpu load is mid to upper 50's,no voltage change 4.4 got me like lower-mids 70's i wanted cooler as the 4.4 is that big of a benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 looks like it has capacitors that may interfere with mounting had you used the h100i on another build or is it new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faze Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 brand new :( Everything in that setup was bought at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 for curiosity sake,check pump rpm in bios,,if its ~2200 rpm,then the only possible problem that it can be is improperly mounted block or very poorly layed tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 have you checked the row of capacitors on the left side and especially the two on the right side the the hoses connect to the block to make sure they arent touching>? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryman Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lets see every (ABOUT) 10% increase in voltage is a 20% increase in heat right? Again (about) so 1.15 vs 1.3 is about 30%? Then you add the over 20% speed boost to it that's over 50% more heat if not 60s (idk rough estimate) so well idk where I'm getting at here honestly... Anyway try 4.2ghz and try voltage at 1.25 and see how it goes... Although your temps are like mine but still mine gets way too hot I have same problem if I run 4.2ghz 1.25 volts or higher my temps will hit 105C almost instantly and shut my computer down :( I have i7 3770k Also can try remounting it but you would need thermal paste to replace with... First I would just make sure that the block is on securely (DO NOT REMOVE UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME THERMAL PASTE TO REPLACE WITH) if you do then remount it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
