So, i had a Corsair H100i V2 installed, when i first installed the new cooling system, i was getting around 52c whilst playing games.
However, recently i found that the fans would constantly change speed up and down every second which was a really irritating sound. After a lot of digging around i realised that the CPU temps were reaching 95c, when playing games and sometimes when idle.
I thought the cooler / pump must have failed but before i took it out i reset the BIOS and re-applied the thermal paste using the pea method. Nothing happened, the same temperatures. Luckily i have a spare intel Stock cooler that was unused and came with the C.P.U.
I was extremely surprised when i installed it that it did not change a thing, the CPU is still reaching the exact same temperatures.
Using an I7-4790K on a Gigabyte Z87-D3HP (with updated BIOS) to run the newer version of the CPU.
(It has been working fine with perfect temperatures for 2 years this issue only just occured)
Can anyone here think of a cause or a fix?
Things i have tried:
Re-Apply Thermal Paste
Reset BIOS
Use different cooler (Intel Stock Cooler)
Corsair Link and CPUID for Temperature Monitoring
