I've recently experienced high temperature increases in my cpu temperature. The temps were ranging from 65 degrees at idle to mid 90's when playing games.
I took the cooler out of my case and cleaned off the old thermal paste with methylated spirits as well as the cpu, reapplied thermal grizzly kryonaught thermal paste onto the cpu.
At first boot, temps were looking good, at idle it would sit at around 45-50 degrees which was a large drop from the last temps, and playing less demanding games like league of legends put my cpu at around 60 degrees. These temps looked good to me and I thought I had fixed the problem, until I launched up GTA 5 for a bit and my cpu temps were skyrocketing back to mid 90 degrees and would only cool down when I tabbed out of the game or stopped playing the game entirely. I felt the pumps of the cooler when the cpu was overheating and the pumps felt extremely hot closer to the cpu. What might be causing this problem? Is there a way I can fix heat coming from the pumps. I'm pretty sure the pump is working properly as it vibrates and feels hot to the touch.
My cpu is an i5 4690k clocked at 3.7ghz at 1.025V and cooler is Corsair h100i GTX. I've heard a lot of negative things about this particular cooler.
Is there anything wrong with my system that may be causing this problem?, how come my cpu is overheating to mid 90's again even though I cleaned about the radiator, fans and reapplied new thermal paste?
When reinstalling, I made sure to take into account the amount of thermal paste I put on (pea sized drop and pushing the water block more firmly for a more snug contact with the cpu. Even after doing this, my temps still shoot to mid 90's playing higher demanding titles like GTA 5.
