After posting here a month or two ago about high temperature for my CPU after activating the XMP profile for my Ram, I was able to bring them back down a pinch with new ML120 fans on my H100iv2 and with better applied thermal paste. Now they are back at unreasonable numbers for the hardware I have. The new Call of Duty runs at 100+ frames on max everything, but the CPU stays around 80C to 85C, and Battlefield 5, which used to run fine before XMP being on, is now hitting as high as 87C while playing. My idle temps are 34C to 40C, and with chrome chugging away it stays are 37C to 42C. I have updated my Bios to the latest (F22m). I need this to go away, and I know its my fault for building or applying something wrong, I'm just the wrong person to find the issue.
*So things I tried after the Bios update were to reapply thermal paste, which worked for about a week before the temps were back to what I mentions. I have cleaned my AIO rad thoroughly, but have noticed some damaged fins and some dust that will not be removed by my electronics vacuum or a paint brush. After that reapply, I noticed my H100I v2's pump was not all the way tight on one corner. Tighting that dropped my temperatures to an all time low of 28C Idle and 78C under heavy load.
Then, this past week, I left my apt to go out for a bit and left my PC idling. When I had came back after about an hour or so, I noticed my PC had been restarted. Nothing besides seemed out of the ordinary until I opened a game and saw the high temperatures again. When I opened ICUE, it was not detecting my Keyboard or my H100i v2. After reinstalling the app, the result was the same. They were only recognized when i restarted my PC myself. The temperatures themselves never went down after that.
Thanks in advance for the help.
