    i7 7700 non-k high temps with AIO 240mm

    OK last 2 questions! Sorry and thanks again... Would it be more obvious if the cooler was broken? For example I'd assume that were the pump not working properly playing bf1 would see much higher temps/throttling/or a shutdown. But it sort of sits around 70 and not much higher. I'd assume that...

    i7 7700 non-k high temps with AIO 240mm

Same temperatures.... At this point I have to wonder if the cooler is underperforming or is broken. Reviews of...

    i7 7700 non-k high temps with AIO 240mm

    HI guys, on a phone on lunch break so I'll try make it quick. Yesterday I completed my new build: Asus Strix h270f i7 7700 non-k Deep Cool Gamerstorm 240ex AIO Using the stress cpu option in cpu-z sees core temps around the 65c mark after 15 minutes. After about 45 minutes of overwatch...

    Hi there guys, Just last night I installed a new Deepcool Maelstrom 120t AIO CPU cooler. Installation went off without a hitch, and temperatures look fine. Currently in my room at 12*C my temps read core#0 16c core#1 15c core#2 13c and core #3 14c package# 19c However, when I first boot the...
