Oh this is a good point ha! Thanks for that info. I will look for a 240mm or 360mm AIO in combination with a proper tower case!

Re-applied thermal paste, did nothing. Looking at the AIO again: I notice that when it's heating up to 100 degrees celsius (the AIO fan goes crazy but still cold air comes out of it after air passes through the radiator), temperature quickly drops when I would tap both hoses between the...

Well yes maybe, but that does not explain the fact that no hot air comes out of the system at all right? If the cooling system is inadequate to optimally cool the CPU if its under stress, you would atleast expect hot air to come out? Even if the CPU is running at 5-10% capacity, it can heat up...

Thanks for your input both! I think I will re-apply the thermal paste and reseat the AIO (and give it a little shake) . If that's not the fix, I'll probably replace the cooling system.

Not yet, but I will (with Arctic Silver 5 3,5g). All of the 8 cores are somewhat within the same range. Biggest difference between 2 cores is about 2-3 degrees Celsius. So during a game, they often spike to 95-100 after which the fans turn up to max and reduce temperature to 75-85 again (and...

There seems to be a small noticeable temperature difference between the two, but not in a way that one was very warm and the other cold.

The AIO radiator is fitted on the back and sucks air in. There are then 2 additional fans on top that blow air out. It was the default setup of the prefab pc.

Hey all, Would like to ask for some input on the reason why my CPU is randomly heating up to 80-90deg.C when idle, after which it returns to 40-50deg.C. During games, even if CPU usage is around 30-40%, it easily heats up to 100degr.C. After closing the game, it does cool town to 40-60 within...
