Cooling issue with new setup


Recommended Posts

Hey all! I am having a cooling issue with my new cooler

Specs

NZXT Phantom (top 200mm fan, back 140mm, (2) side 140mm)

H100i cooling system. Radiator mounted on top, inside of case with fans pulling

i5 2500k NOT OC

16g mushkin blackline 1600 ram

Radeon 7870

corsair tx750m psu

Now before I installed this H100i, I had some $20 thermaltake giant fan cooler that help idle 37C temps and max 47C

Just installed H100i (comes prefilled, pre pasted), it idles at 45C and got as high as 100C under load!!!

I'm starting to think that maybe the cooling block did not fully seat on the cpu. Still would like any advice

Did it come with the thermal paste/pad thing already on it? Or did you apply it?

as stated, pre applied

Hhmmm... When you take it off check for any dirt/hair on the pre-applied paste. Any kind of little mis-connection on that stuff can cause it to not vent properly.

And are you positive the pump is working and it isn't faulty? Try unplugging the fans while you have your temp monitor up. If it doesn't change at all, could be faulty pump.

Dropped both fans from 1800rpm to 400rpm each. Temp stays the same, but if there is hardly any contact i would expect this
