poida84 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 hi all. just bought new PC and awesome cooler H100i the issue i am having right now is CPU over heating 90-100C when doing intel burn test 80-90C when doing photo editing. i find that very high for liquid cooler. i have 4670k running stock and do not intend to do any OC till future. i have reseated the the cooler few times now. i have tried the stock cooler that goes high as 80-90C when i push it other wise sits nicely around 70-75C gaming or photo editing.... corsair link shows pump working at 2200rpm i can also feel the pump working.. when i do get high temps bottom pipe gets warm to hot. Idle temps are 26-30c hope you guys can help me here and im hoping the problem can be fixed thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 if all is as you say,stock clock,pump at !2200 rpm,then it must be in the seating of the board or the backplate is upside down the two notches are on top looking at it. one other possibility is maybe the block is sitting on a capacitor ... http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image/akg/water_cooling/H80i/backplate_sm.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poida84 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 ok back plate seems to be side ways LOL never noticed the notches ill reseat it and let you know. the capaciters are out of the way so thats good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poida84 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 still same issue only takes few secs to get to 90-100C.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 After your machine starts up put direct pressure on the cooling block, pushing it into your CPU. If your temps drop then you'll need to add a set of nylon washers to your backplate . Also please take note of how your thermal paste was spread when you did your reseat. Was it spread all the way across the CPU evenly? Or was it favoring one side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poida84 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 nice and even spread i have pushed it down see if temps change nothing changes... like i said 1 pipe gets heaps warm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Then it's best to not chance it. Best to have it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 i have to ask what kind of stress tests are being ran? im confused as you say idle temps are good,when it goes to 90 when stressing,does it return to normal idle temps? if theres a pump problem once it heats up its gonna stay there. im just concerned your stress test is perhaps too much as when your gaming it isnt that bad.

poida84 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 yes but gets bad when i do photo editing PC shuts down to BSOD.. im using intel burn test on standard. prime95 and Aida64 is too much for it.. its cold in the room only 19C so prob why idle bit lower..

peanutz94 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 He's runing IBT which is pretty brutal , but seeing as he's getting better temps with an Intel stock cooler it's a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poida84 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Nvm im gona take it in for testing and possible replacement.. main reason im concerned is the heat waves we get 40-45C with no Air con. thats why i bought the H100i thinking it would take off least 20-30C compared to stock cooler in harsh enviroment. but i can see there is problem.. esp when i run ivy bridge stock clocks with stock cooler and dont go past 80C.... and thats on air.. ill let everyone know how i go though.

AWAKE Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I upgraded from a h50 a few months ago to the h100i and it has been fine until today I get home from work boot up and try to play a game and it starts running very close to 100c so I get out of the game and check things out, nothing loose, nothing I can see wrong with it , my evga mb seems fine, no settings have been changed, just overheating like crazy.... so tomorrow when I get home from work I have to take the h100i off and re-install the h50 till someone from corsair here replies to help me with an rma to get this replaced....... grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurassic1024 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Wow, every H100i thread I see this wytnyt guy in (including the thread i started regarding my issue which is EXACTLY like the OP's), he's blaming the user. He is not helping anyone. He's just blaming them. Why is he allowed to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Wow, every H100i thread I see this wytnyt guy in (including the thread i started regarding my issue which is EXACTLY like the OP's), he's blaming the user. He is not helping anyone. He's just blaming them. Why is he allowed to do this? im in most threads trying to offer help and if suggesting that perhaps the user is/is not doing something needed then ill suggest it.these units dont just fall into the case and start working,sometimes they require finesse and manipulating things in order to get them working. as a user i have the same rules to follow as anyone else but i do have my opinion and i wont hold a persons hand,cuddle them and just tell them to rma it,only to have the same problem with another unit. i just had a OS drive collision on one of my computers,rather than stich a hdd in it,redo windows,i worked thru it and now working without taking the easy way out. and since changing things i had a time getting my link commander to work but its now ok all im saying is sometimes you have to suggest most anything as we dont know your abilitys nor experience when it comes to computers.

wytnyt Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 thats good to hear tell us your opinion regarding the cooling between the two hydros. ive often thought about replacing my h80i with a h110 but it still cools and the upgrade would be just to try it out..
