peanutz94 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Please fill out your system specs in your dropdown menu so we can see what your other hardware is . Can you see if the pump is running in your BIOS? Do your temps go down if you push on the cooling head? Have you removed the cooling head to be sure you have an even spread on the thermal paste?

peanutz94 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 how do i check if the pump running in bios If you connected the single tach lead it will be your CPU_FAN header's RPM. That will actually be the speed of the pump and not the fans on the cooler. i tried pushing on the cooler head to see if it stable and not moving too..still the same But did you watch to see if your temps changed any? I suggest remounting the cooling head to be sure it was sitting straight on the CPU though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest remounting the cooling head to be sure it was sitting straight on the CPU though yes the temp went down too much,once i pressed hard on the head so u guess i have to remounting it is it a back-plate issue? because it was kinda loose i read about some customers were facing the loose back plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pale_crow Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 common am waiting for a solution ... and am so tired of the whole installing process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pale_crow Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 i remounted it now i reach 50c on 100% load is that normal or still i need to do some tweeking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 i remounted it now i reach 50c on 100% load is that normal or still i need to do some tweeking 50c is very good on a 100% load,your good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pale_crow Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 50c is very good on a 100% load,your good but there is somthing odd on idle the temp jump from 29-35 then its go down and up don and up..it wont stand on a stable number is it ok?

snfo Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yes If you use any other cooler you will have the same behavior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yes If you use any other cooler you will have the same behavior difference is most dont bother monitoring air control,if they had they would have noticed even more erratic spikes...

pale_crow Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 difference is most dont bother monitoring air control,if they had they would have noticed even more erratic spikes... yeah its the spikes what made me worried now in full load iam reaching 55c i dont use any other coolers on case fans iam new to that field...i bought this cooler to OC my 3770k. so here is my qustion if i oc my cpu to 4.0 or 3.9 how much i will get in tep idle and full in my case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Dont worry about your idle temps. It's the load temps that are important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 yes and ambient temps will raise or lower idle/load temps also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pale_crow Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 yes and ambient temps will raise or lower idle/load temps also hi again i have this question in crosier link why the pump is always over 4000 rpm...no mater how much you lower the rpm manually,...it will still over 4000 also my 12 sp fans..stucked at 1300 i don't think the corsair link do anything but changing the pump led color.that the only work function after doing 1 hour in prime 95 my temp are not overclocked at all core0 55 core1 65 core2 64 core3 64 is that still normal?

wytnyt Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 you can load most any computer a certain way and get high temps,i can run one called heavy load and its taxed so much the computer crawls which really isnt a real world test. mid 60's at stock clock is by no means high but could be a bit lower but again you need to judge your temps by what you do in a hard case scenario ,i encode movies which is easier than prime 95 load so my temps will be lower than prime 95 and thats what i go by. ambient temp also plays a big part in temps the pump speed is set and cant be changed.

wytnyt Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 quiet,balanced ect changes your fan speed curve ,the pump stays the same and you arent nagging at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfellow Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Hi peanut I had the same problem, here is how I fixed it one take off the back plate two get an old plastic storage box lid cut out flat square then cut that into 1/4"strips then with a Stanley knife and a bit of timber put the strip on the timber place the point of the knife in the centre of the plastic and move the plastic round until the hole is big enough to fit under the black washer you need two plus the black washer for each leg hope this works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
