Hello Everyone,
I just finished building my new rig and everything seems okay besides the CPU temp ( I do have to adjust memory speeds but I was more concerned of how hot things were getting since I have a custom loop running) . I am not sure if this is normal, I have been reading about a lot of problems with temperatures on this chip.
My temperature cycle starts at 45°C and trickles its way down to 33°C (maybe a degree higher or lower each cycle) . After it goes down the lowest temperature its spikes right back up to 44°C and repeats the cycle.
I am running a custom water cooling loop and I have a Corsair xc7 on top the CPU. My GPU is in the same loop and its at a stable 45°C .
Motherboard MSI x570 ACE
G.skill Royal DDR4 4x8gb 3200 mhz
MSI RTX 2080 seahawk ek x
Watercooling: 2x Corsair 360 radiators, XD5 Pump/res, XC7 CPU waterblock, PETG tubing, EK cyberfuel coolant, primochill revolver sx fittings, Bitspower flow meter.
Cooling is controlled through corsair's icue software.
So far I am guessing its either poor thermal paste applied, air bubbles in the water block that haven't left yet, or settings that need to be adjust in the bios for the cpu and ram. Any reason why the temperatures spike 10 degrees on idle with a new build, fresh new windows installed with just 2 or 3 programs installed? (corsair ICUE, MSI afterburner, and MSI's Dragon center)
Thanks!
