Hello!
First time posting on here! Thanks y'all in advance!
Okay so here's the situation, my CPU temperature is pretty high on idle of 45-50°C I've recently installed all my case fans with a Corsair ML140 pro, 2 intake on the front and 1 exhaust at the back. Previously 2 of my case fan were faulty so I didn't give my overheating CPU much thought, as I'd assumed it was due to the faulty fans and poor air flow within the case however after replacing the fans the CPU temperature is still high(45-50°C)
I have a Corsair H100i v1 AIO Cooler on my CPU and using the Corsair Link and Core Temp to monitor my temps, currently everything else seems to be pretty nice and cool on idle, Motherboard and GPU temps are at a low of 27-30°C
The strange thing is that my H100i Temp is showing at a 27°C which is odd considering my CPU is at 45-50°C
Which brings me to the conclusion that whether if it's my AIO cooler is broken or perhaps the Thermal Paste has dried up? Do let me know what you think!
Oh I've also done a nice cleaning too, as I had suspected dust might be causing the high temps, but I've already cleared out the radiator etc
When I attempt to do anything remotely cpu intensive such as rendering a video in after effects or simply fast forwarding a 4k video on youtube or opening up minecraft... temperature would jump immediately to dangerously high levels of 80-100°C
Here are some details of my build incase it'll be helpful
CPU : Intel Core i7 4790k
GPU : Nvidia GTX 780 Ti
Motherboard : Maximus VII Hero
AIO Cooler : H100i v1
PSU : Corsair RM750
Case : Corsair obsidian 750d
Also why I might suspect a dried up Thermal Paste is that the pc is about 5 year's old and I have not touched the cpu since.
Thanks for the help! I look forward to hearing what are your thoughts on this!
