Should've included that in my list. I've also double checked all drivers and updated everything, including the BIOS. So BIOS: v4501 CPU idled at ~1% with minimal extra processes running. Sat around 52C. Reopening Firefox briefly spiked the CPU to 8% & 68C Lesson learned. It's my first AMD CPU...

The cooling on my setup has always been great. I've had all 12 cores at 4.3GHz and never had it exceed ~75C at full load. Idle was probably low 30s. At some point, temperatures suddenly skyrocketed. At base clock, it idles at 55C. Full load floats between 88-93C. Things I've tried...

After fixing an unrelated annoyance on my laptop, I broke a 4-pin connector while reassembling. Woops. I reassembled it anyways since I wanted to monitor the temperatures. Instead, I learned that my laptop doesn't power on at all--making me think the motherboard died (how??). Zero response to...

So I swapped out the pump with the Intel stock cooler, and the temps dropped dramatically. Strange. It really appeared as if the H80i was working fine. Idling in the 40s now. Guess I'm gonna have to get a new cooler. Thanks for the help, guys.

update: I took out the motherboard and took everything off. Remounted everything again, even the standoffs/whatever for the pump. Temps are slightly better but still much higher compared to before. I don't get it.

So I recently rebuilt my PC from the ground up, so everything is somewhat freshly placed, so I could've done something wrong. CPU: i7 4790K Cooler: H80i If I recall, with the preapplied paste, I would reach 80C at full load which is fine. Since putting my computer back together, I've applied...

I was doing some casual web browsing when suddenly my computer shut down. Not like a full windows shutdown or blue screen, as in the screen went black and the computer was off. I tried turning the computer back on, but it showed no signs of life. The only two things that were on were the...

I ran the RAM diagnostic test in administrative tools. nothing detected.

This has been happening for over three months, and I'm not quite sure what has been causing it. I can post some of the errors from the event viewer, so you can get an idea of what is going wrong. Faulting application name: TheDivision.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x56bb5f28 Faulting...
