Answer» Hello,
Just recently I built a computer.
Parts USED:
Case: Antec nine hundred
Cpu: Intel I7 3770
Cpu cooler: Antec H20 920
Gpu: Geforce NVidia 660 TI
Power supply: Corsair CX 750
Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Extreme
Ram: 2 x 8 DDR3 corsair vengeance
My current problem is my cpu is too hot, it never drops below 60 degrees celsius.
Any solutions?
3 questions:
How are you getting your TEMP readings ? ?
Was Thermal paste properly applied when you built this ? ?
Are you sure the CPU fan ASSEMBLY is fastened properly to the heatsink ? ?A 4th quick question:
Any reason you didn't use the stock inTel cooler ? ?I am certain everything is installed correctly. I am using a program called core temp to measure the temperature on my cpu.
My current cooler water cools the chip which is quieter and somewhat better than the stock Intel cooler.See question # 2...
Even with water coolers it needs installed properly...
And are those idle temps...or under load.
If under load you are fine.That is idle temp, and I'm sure I installed the water cooling correctly.Did you use thermal paste ? ?
At idle that CPU is 38 to 45c...Yes I did, under load it doesn't seem to go over 100 degrees.AnandTech reports some of those ran 48c at idle...for whatever reason...
They also state however 105 is the breaking point so keep a good eye on it.Do you know how I can fix it? It's bothering me thinking I might break it if I use it.I'd try 2 or 3 more temp monitor apps...then avaerage all the #'s together...
It could be a number of things INCLUDING the after-market cooler you are running.
Just cause it's water-cooled doesn't mean it's working properly.That does seem pretty high for that CPU if I'm honest - My 3770k is overclocked and reaches 77c on its hottest core when running a stress test, I have a Corsair H60 so our coolers are similar.
You may want to check the application of the thermal paste, you should have only used a very small amount - You may want to clean it all off with rubbing alcohol and reapply it to see.
Finally, check your cooler is wired up correctly - The fan attached to the radiator should connect to the CPU fan header and the PUMP should connect to any non-CPU fan header. Getting these the wrong way round can cause the pump to run at reduced speed.Quote from: camerongray on June 10, 2013, 04:22:14 AM Finally, check your cooler is wired up correctly - The fan attached to the radiator should connect to the CPU fan header and the pump should connect to any non-CPU fan header. Getting these the wrong way round can cause the pump to run at reduced speed.
This was my first thought, that the pump is either not running or is not running at the correct speed, possibly because it's plugged into the wrong header. I used to run the pumps from the closed loop liquid coolers off a 3-pin to Molex adapter, to prevent any interference from the motherboard attempting to control the fan speed and actually slowing the pump down. Failing that, it's possibly a dead pump - do you hear it start up, and can you feel it vibrating?I can feel it vibrating. I have tried putting new paste on already and it never helped.
