  • Well the idle temp is bad at 35-37c, but when gaming it only hit 42c and full stress test of 100% load on all cores hit a max of 65c, which is not bad from what I've read.  As far as the high idle temp, I can only assume it's not reading correctly f…
  • I changed the fans on the radiator but the fans I put in don't have the 4 prong connections so they can't be controlled by the H100 and run at a consistent 1100ish rpms.  The cpu is holding at a steady 37c when idle and 64-65 with a stress test with…
  • Quizzical said: Actually, we probably should have asked this up front:  have you overclocked the CPU at all, or is it at stock speeds?  If you've overclocked it and tweaked settings such that it can't clock down at idle, then that's why you're …
  • Ridelynn said: Pull the CPU sink off entirely. Take it all the way out of the computer. Take the fans off and blow the radiator out - may even run that part under water to get it clean. Strip the old thermal paste off of everything - the wate…
  • I ran a malware scan and did find some problems, including bitcoin miners, they were all removed.  However the cpu still idles at 43c.  I replaced the thermal paste and everything is connected right.   I'm not sure what to try next.  
  • I changed out the thermal paste and have an idle temp still hanging around 43c.  However I noticed that the cpu load stays near 0% at idle but then jumps to around 60% for a minute or two, then back down to 0% again.  Now I'm thinking maybe a softwa…
  • Grunty said: Replace the thermal paste on your CPU I've done that as well.  I'm currently running BDO and the cpu usage is 19%, gpu 22%, and the fan has sped up to 2700rpm and the pump 1800 and I can hear it pretty good now, not as loud…
  • The cooler is installed correctly and I can view the info with the corsair link info (H100i v2) from the task bar to show how fast the pump and fan are working.  Normally they are running slow and quiet and the temps are fine.  But as soon as someth…
  • If you've ever played ARK than you've played Conan Exiles, except instead of dinos you get boobs and dongs hanging out.  It's fun for a few hours, then it's repetitive and boring.  You gather resources and build a base.  You can kill stuff for more …
