Hi, so i've had this build for almost two years now. I've never had any problems with it, but my CPU temps has been high since day 1. I assumed it was normal when gaming, because when I am not gaming it stays at the 40s.
So today I decided to reapply some thermal paste (Arctic Mx-4) and the temperatures haven't really changed and after booting the computer, it froze. I rebooted and it froze again. Since then, it has been working fine even on gaming (apart from the high temps)
I tried changing fans to a more aggressive curve, but no luck. I also tried playing a game with the case open and I did not notice any difference.
My build is:
i7 8770k (Arctic Freezer 13 heatsink)
ROG STRIX Z370-H Gaming
16 GB RAM DDR4
GTX 970
Case : Corsair Carbide Spec-03
I decided to log the CPU temps with Corsair's iCUE software (you can see the gaming temps in the bottom of the spreadsheet): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g8eoEgz6J9hys6-VtdW4lMY8FGrB7fSDk3AfxXnTlyk/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance
