Hello, i have a core i7 7700k and its been having major heating problems for what seems like no reason whatsoever. the cpu is running underneath a Corsair H100i V2 and yes the liquid cooler does indeed work. i put brand new thermal paste (Artic silver 5) on the cpu after cleaning it first, the cpu runs at 1.185 volts at goes between 4.20 and 4.50ghz regularly while gaming and common use like youtube and facebook.
While playing Battlefield 1, i seen the cpu hit 90c which is insanely hot. i have the liquid cooler running at Extreme performance, which means the pump is running at over 3000rpm and the two fans on the radiator are going at over 1500 RPM each, and it still hits 90c i reseated the heatsink 3 different times. and reapplyed the Thermal paste twice. just to make sure, Yet still insane temps, litterally nothing can explain this, i keep my room air conditions so thats not an issue, my graphics card has a blow back cooler so thats not the issue. the pump is working because when i put my hand on the pipes, i can feel them vibrating, indicating that liquid is indeed moving though them.
When i install tempature monitering software, they all say the same thing mostly, when system is idle its in the high 30s and when gaming it goes to 70s then 80s then stays around in the high 80s sometimes hitting 90. i make sure my PC is dust free so thats not the issue. all the fans in the case are running fine. i dont understand what is going on here.
i cant afford to get another liquid cooler, and if i have to get one, im not getting one at all, im getting an air cooler instead. this was my first liquid cooled experience and so far its worse then air.
