Right I’ve just ran the cpuz stress test, at the start I had the pc running at idle for 5 mins, coolant was at 32-33c and cpu was 45-60C. I ran the test and in the first maybe 20-30 seconds the temps shot right up. The coolant temps also rose to about 36. I stopped it when it got to 85C and was thermal throttling the cpu to 3700mhz. I turned it off and the temps dropped on the cpu quite a lot quite fast and it was down to 60° in about 20-30 seconds. The h100i took a bit longer maybe a minute to get back down to 33-34C. What do I do, this is still with the Chinese fans.

Right just read through that all sorry all that I didn’t clarify. The 37 was in CL4 and was the coolant temp (I didn’t see what it was in game, sorry) and the 65-75+ was NZXT CAM software. I don’t own anything nzxt however I just use the software for monitoring. I don’t really stress the cpu out at all especially these past weeks and months as I’ve only been playing csgo which barely takes 40% load on it and has been running great. No overclock on it just cpb like everyone has. Now my graphics card does get hot as it is an rtx 2080 but with a blower style fan (I know dreadful looking to sort this soon) I have it undervolted but at idle the temps for the 2080 where no more than 54° while the cpu was going from 45 on startup to 70 something idle just light monitoring with a few apps open. Now my configuration. I have the Corsair 275r carbide and I have the aio vertically mounted with the coolant lines at the bottom of the rad. I have 3 exhausts, one at the back and two up top all 120mm. Only intake is the pull through configuration on the rad. The top of the rad is higher than the pump and cpu. I have also tried this with the coolant line at the top of the rad no difference. My fan configuration is pull through, I can feel it when it’s on if I put my hand next to it but yeah okay, I will try swapping the fans over one last time before I try and shake the pump and rad as it could be blocked up. I’m not sure about the warranty because I did buy this second hand and asking the guy I bought it from says he doesn’t have the receipt. So yes thanks all again hopefully I can sort this out with the help of you guys! Cheers, Jacob.

Ok I’m in iCue at the moment pump on extreme (3150 rpm) and the temp says 37C. My nzxt can is spiking from 45-65 when opening apps not even in game. What does this mean?

So nothing I can do about it? Is this rare or not. I don’t plan on forking out another 150 for an aio!

It all started when I ordered a 5 pack of cheap Chinese rgb fans to put in my pc, when swapping out all of the fans I had the radiator hanging down from the pump, I then put everything back in and immediately on boot I go on nzxt cam I see my cpu is going mental, hit 100C and turned off. I've tried everything, vertically mounting it horizontally mounting it having the rad upside down having the rad the right side up. I even took off the aio and let the air go to the top of the rad then put it back in. When I didn't have the aio installed I went to my old wraith prism. On windows start-up it was at about 50c and gaming never went above 75C. When i tried taking the prism off the cpu stuck to it and i bent some pins in the process, fixed it put it all back together with new thermal paste and clamped the aio tight. Upon bootup I went straight to BIOS where i had just cleared the cmos so I put xmp on and all of my fans to max, one thing to note is that all my fans are connected to a Chinese fan hub which is powered by something (4holes connected) I used the remote I got with these fans to turn up the speeds to max but idk. Boot into windows temps go straight to about 65-75C literally just booted in. I hop onto csgo and monitered the temp, it was at 30%usage and it went from 70 to 85 where I decided enough was enough. My aio should be sat at a maximum of 60c while gaming and while idle from 20-40c. Idk what the problem is tbh. My cpu is the ryzen 7 2700x and my aio is the corsair h100i v2.
