SpartanZX7 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Right, i changed my motherboard and cpu out yesterday along with my case . I've been running a H100i for a couple months on AMD before so i put it in the new build and I checked my temps and it's 37o-38o which is hot for me specially as i'm only on youtube and browsing the web. I'm using google chrome. Also i wanted to say that when i was installing the H100i i gave it a clean and i cleaned off the old thermal paste on the block and the copper had gone darker where the chip would have sat. I was just wondering if this could be affecting the temps or have i done a ###### job about the thermal paste. I also looked it up and people say this chip just runs hot but i wanted to hear what you guys thought. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneKnee Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Make sure your not using too much thermal paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted July 25, 2014 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2014 37 degrees isn't THAT hot tbh. I have a i5 4670k with an h100i as well. While browsing/YouTube/etc it gets to 32-34 degrees. I clocked it to 4.30 and it's currently sitting at 37 degrees. I have the radiator running with 2 Noctua Industrial fans which are currently going 780RPM. They'll ramp up to around 1200RPM when playing Battlefield 4 (I set it up that way through Corsair Link). Are you using the Corsair Link software? Edit: I might as well list the thermal paste I use which is Noctua NT-H1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaP Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 37 is perfectly fine. 60-80 would be hot. My core i5 750 is running at around 34 idle and i'm using a Feeezer 13 with properly applied arctic silver c?ramique thermal paste (not the pre-aplied paste that came with the cooler).

ViperAFK Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Check the temp under load, that's what's important. 37 at idle sounds pretty normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
