Hello, I bought a corsair h115i to liquid cool my intel i7 6800k with the goal of having a silent build.
the fact is that my cpu is reaching more than 60c on idle, and the h115i temperature can't stay cool.
I'm writing now, after around 10 minutes of computer activity, with just one web browser opened and few apps in background (steam, epic games, avira, mail) and my cpu is around 80c, and my h115i around 57c.
I don't know which are the "normal" values for h115i but I read people with temperatures > 20 < 40c with computer running intensive tasks.
If i run intensive tasks all my cpu cores go to 100c (without any throttling or strange behaviours to be honest).
I don't know what to do really, I changed the thermal paste 3 times with very little enhancements on temperatures.
I live with the fans going almost full speed all the times, it looks like i'm leaving in an airplanes hangar.
If I put my hand on the radiator of the h115i it is very fresh, if i touch 1 tube is very hot, and the other tube is quite cold. If i touch them i can feel water moving inside so i think the pump is working properly.
What should i do? thanks
