Hello,
I have encountered an overheating problem with my desktop PC, and I was hoping I could get some help figuring out what the problem is. I just moved into a different apartment. In my new apartment, I am experiencing high CPU temperatures (this was not the case before I moved). My PC uses the following components:
I have encountered an overheating problem with my desktop PC, and I was hoping I could get some help figuring out what the problem is. I just moved into a different apartment. In my new apartment, I am experiencing high CPU temperatures (this was not the case before I moved). My PC uses the following components:
- Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 ATX
- CPU: i7-6700K (running at stock multiplier)
- CPU cooler: Lepa Aquachanger 240 (liquid cooler)
- MSI Z170A GAMING M7 ATX LGA1151
- Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 3000 C15 2x16GB
- Boot drive: Samsung 960 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 500GB
- Power Supply: Corsair RMx 750 W 80+ Gold
- Videocard: Nvidia GTX 1070 Founder's Edition
The symptoms and simple troubleshooting that I have done so far are as follows: |
- When I enter Windows 10, the liquid cooler fans spin faster than usual. Temperature is also slightly higher than usual (45-50C, normal temperatures were 30-40C before I moved).
- When left idle for a while, CPU temperature has climbed to 75-95C. Opening the case does not affect the temperature.
- When using the PC for extender time periods, the PC becomes slow and eventually freezes. When rebooting, the PC is still slow, CPU temperatures start high (75+C) when starting windows.
- In one instance, I saw a black empty screen when I rebooted after the PC after it froze, and it did this for the next three reboots I did shortly after (the pump casing was hot to touch after rebooting). However, the PC started normally after I left the PC off for several minutes and the CPU temperature was 45-50C. This temperature slowly climbed over time while idle. Opening the case had no effect on CPU temperature (it kept climbing).
