Question High Idle Temps (Need Help)

[IcyAlexander]

Recently my PC's temps have been spiking up again with idle temps at 77C, even tho coolant is around 33C.
Cpu is 7 5800x
Aio H100i Platinum SE
Thermal paste is MX 4
and the case is 465x icue with 5 fans in total including radiator ones
The thermal paste is brand new and applied it 2 days ago. I made sure the aio is tightened up but still very high idle temps.
I tried everything and im at a roadblock. Any suggestions?

Radiator location? Age?
Downloaded/updated anything recently that may be running in the background? You did imply that spikes weren't as high before.

AIO is roof of case as exhaust??

what is rest of system?

What are average system temps for other components?

My aio is placed just like yours with pipes going up. Other components have normal temps around 45C gpu and ram.
My motherboard is x570-e , and ram is vengeance pro sl

Radiator is 10 months old and there a no heavy background app running

Colif has the AIO improperly mounted. You should flip the radiator so the pipes are at the bottom.

Do you happen to have any razer peripherals or anything of that sort? Also have you tried to feel if your radiator is actually heating up and if the tubes are also heating up. Another thing you can try is to flick the switch of your psu off and on while ur pc is turned on

Personally I wouldn't put the pipes at the bottom, keeping them higher than the pump is better.

The problem is my case is too small for them to be down and not up.If i had a bigger i would do that

The problem may actually lie in the recent razer synapse update. I too experienced very very high temperatures after an update.
When did your problem arise?

I'm fairly certain that there's something wrong with razer's software that is making some components go haywire.
If you're not doing anything important at the moment you should try turning off ur pc and then ur psu and waiting for a couple of seconds, then booting the system up again

i will try in a bit

 

[Colif]

No, colif doesn't have his tubes the wrong way

That video is in answer to Steves

You can put them at bottom, I will agree with that but as long as top of radiator is above the pump, it works

I have, but I still stand behind my words. And, JayzTwoCents also has videos related to how you should and shouldn't mount ur aio. So, both are correct, but tubes up is better if you leave your pc off for prolonged periods of time and if you don't mind bubbling sounds.

Colif, this is the video I was referencing. So yea, in conclusion, Icy's overheating is either caused by bad software or by air buildup in the pump. What I would suggest is to either do what I've mentioned a couple of times already or to just carefully either tip the whole tower or just the radiator so it makes all the air go away from the pump.

 

[Colif]

i wasn't arguing, I just wanted to get facts straight, lots of people saw Steve's video and misunderstood his message.

I can hear the water loudly now so i think there is air in my cooler

Did you try tipping and holding the case back for a few seconds? That should make the tubes+radiator ports the highest point of the loop.

Just did that and there is no more water noises

That should hopefully make your temperatures normal. Or at least lower than 77.

Perfect, it seems your problem was fixed. Now I'm off to make a complaint at razer for their synapse messing up AIO pumps and preventing them from running full power. (this is a joke, i'm too lazy to open a ticket with razer support)
I'm glad your problem is no more.
