thank you for your time, it is much appreciated.
ambient: 25c
idle: 45c
load: 75c
i7 5820k (stock ghz / stock voltage due to heat) in fractal r5 case
corsair h110i GTX cooler (push/pull intake from front bottom of case with stock h110i gtx fans and stock fractal fans)
gtx 980 ti HYBRID as exhaust (1 120mm)
my plan is to reapply thermal paste (arctic silver 5)
what else can i do to lower these temps?
should i replace the stock fractal fans?
should i add a fan somewhere?
i dont understand why my cpu is always running near 50c.
when i first had it built (6 months ago), it idled at 25c in the very same room and this was with a 4.3 ghz overclock and 1.3v. and i always have the heat on in the winter so the ambient was the same if not higher then.
feels bad that i put all this money into this pc and it's not "acting right" after only a few months. i cant even overclock without seeing 55c right when i start it up.
thanks all for your time.
