Vaath Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi all, Got a nice new h100i that isn't playing nice. Running prime95 on it stock 85+C in no time. I have run all my computers with this and never had a heat issue what so ever. Open to different things to try, I have heard turning 90degrees works, reseating on the cpu and finally washers. I am going to try them in that order, hope it works, I love my new system but it runs hot even when not running p95. I really wanted to overclock but at this temp at stock no thank you, LOL. Corsair has always been good to me, have ordered ram/cooling/case and power supply, my PSU is on RMA but I understand that it just happens sometimes. Really don't wanna RMA this as I would be cooler less and who knows how long it could take. Any additional ideas I am up for, oh my motherboard is an ASUS Maximus VI hero. I heard some motherboards were thicker in some areas. It wasn't cheap so I dunno. Wish there was a list of boards they have found that do not work. I realize that is asking alot but would be cool. Thank you all for your time and help, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diechel Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Can you post more info about your setup like cpu ,overclock, cpu voltage? What is the fan RPM? What is the pump RPM? What is your idle temp? Where did you mount your rad and how are the fans blowing? How many fresh air into your pc case? My i7 4770K runs also very hot when using prime95 going to 90 degrees on my h100i Thats why i dont use prime anymore but aida 64 or occt or intelburntest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 your on the right track as far as checking things,id also check and make sure the backplate is properly mounted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaath Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ok I will try those things, I gotta reconnect the link cable to get rpms and pumps and such, had to unplug it becasue I was putting in a replacement PSU while mine is being worked on at corsair. If those don't work I will be back! :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 the backplate,the bracket mounted on back of the m/b,it can be mounted 180 degrees off,i believe the notched end goes to the top http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=6UWk5_waPIaMPM&tbnid=IuMYf_sr6_orTM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hardwarecanucks.com%2Fforum%2Fhardware-canucks-reviews%2F59242-corsair-h80i-h100i-review-6.html&ei=7c5ZUrH7Gqn4yAGe44HIBw&bvm=bv.53899372,d.aWc&psig=AFQjCNGDrY3koY8SSR4sQg16AXG9_fpPpQ&ust=1381703780011974 see notches?

Vaath Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thnx for showing me the notch! Wish me luck, if i can even drop 10c then I will be fine. WOuld prefer 15+ but i'm not greedy :) Which washers here or here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 your more than welcome any nylon or plastic washer is good and hand snug without using screw driver keep us posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaath Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I got some thin metal washers I think will work...should i still use them as in will it short out the board? Got a couple of plastic washers but they are a little bit bigger. The washers are the ones from corsair so I know they should have no problems. There are 8 plastic. So not much room to making it thicker with only 2 each only. Wouldn'y my new almost fitting ones work? Trying this all next week so I can make sure I am doing everything right. Turn plate 180, washers reseat contact on cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 i dont suggest metal washers as their obviously conductive,the ones you have from corsair is for others uses your backplate will be slightly loose till you mount the cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
