I just changed my CPU cooler from a 212 EVO to a Cooler Master Masterliquid 240, system boot up fine, but now I'm getting weird fan speeds and CPU temperatures (it's an i7 4790k btw)
My mobo, an Asus z97-K doesn't have a CPU PUMP header so I plugged the pump into the CPU Fan header and left it at 100%, and the fans to a chassis fan header with a standard curve, but I'm getting 100C reading and 100% fan speed at the minimum load of the cpu. windows login? 100%, opening chrome? 100% etc etc
The weird thing is I don't think it really is at 100C, the CPU isn't throtling remaining even at 4Ghz at "100C", even if I leave it during some time it does not blue screen or freeze, and the moment I stop loading the CPU the temperature goes from 100C to 30C IN ONE LITERAL SECOND
To check if I did something wrong with the cooler instalation I removed it to re-seat it and re-apply thermal paste, but everything stayed the same, and one thing I noticed, the CPU wasn't even hot to the touch even though it was at 100C just 1 minute before I remove the cooler. I have updated the BIOS in the meanwhile but didn't help
Any ideas?
