CPU Temperature High even idle :(

It is possible to have a faulty sensor, but unlikely.
 
thats good, then the issue is resolved. 53c Max is a good temp.

Glad it worked out, im off to make breakfast.


I don't know how this works i mean solved.
That screw i loose amd tight to do with it something or bios reverse?

You are fine, stop mucking with it

What stop Fu** with it :D hahaha joke bro... Oky :)

Thanks to all of you guys for helping me. I think this problem still not solved i will get back to you tomorrow untill then bye...

Inrun some test and see if there any issues then come back tomorrow bye thanks again all of you... :) your names hard to remember so all of guys meant all of you
 
Did you guys rule out the cooler being faulty(i.e. dead/dying pump)? That was my first thought that came to mind when reading the first post. Was going to suggest popping a different cooler on it and see what happens but it looks a little too late for that now.
 
Cupla added thoughts ....

A. One thing to not going forward is that CLC type water cooling loses its efefctiveness over time. This is inevitable. Unlike OLC type AIOs and cusrtom loops, the CLC folks violate the 1st rule of water cooling ... "Never mix metals in a cooling loop" . This sets up a galvanic corrosion cell due to the wide difference in galvanic potential between the 2 metsls"

Nickel = 0.30
Copper = 0.35
Brass / Bronze = 0.40
Aluminum = 0.75 - 0.95

With "real water cooling", we are typically dealing with small differences in galvanic potential... typically at worst, 0.05 - 0.10. With aluminum, we are looking at 0.45 - 0.65. In a galvanic cell, the "less noble" metal "aluminum" will shed electrons which cause deposits to from on the "more noble" metals to which those electrons are drawn. Anyone who has ever owned a boat is familiar with this process as that's why you attach sacrificial zinc anodes

The problem created is two fold. 1) your radiator, especially at soldered joints will start to corrode away ... this will likely not be readily observable right away and is usually hidden by paint... 2) is that the biuld up or deposits in the blocks reduces air flow and insulated the heat movement from the copper baseplate to the coolant. If you monitor temps over time, this will usually be the first indication that things are changing.

The issue is significantly exacerbated on CLC type sealed systems as being "no maintenance", you can not augment the initial corrosion inhibutors which have a useful life of only 18 - 24 months. In a custom loop or open CLC which allows the user to add additional inhibitors, you can perform "recommended maintenance" just as you do on your automobile's cooling system/. Such inhibitors do have anegative effect on thermal efficiiency and while we are generally willing to give up a few degrees on our cars, PC enthusiasts are generally less willing so smaller dosages are used which is why the recommended interval is 18 - 24 months.

So in the end, if using a CLC cooler like the Corsair's (basically anything OEM'd by Coolit and Asetec), Id recommend collecting data under specific loadings (i.e. RoG Real Bench), recording ambient as well as all pertient tpay more attention. If you want to avoid this situation on next build and don't want to do a custom loop, I'd recommend the AIOs from Swiftech (all copper) or EK (all copper or all aluminum). In addition to no dissimilar metals, you can add additional blocks (MoBo, GFX card, etc) additional radiators, reservoirs and anything else. The EK is real simple if ordered prefilled, tho I prefer to install myself when doing user builds.


Another little trick is to place a valve or at least an elbow w/ cap on the radiator drain port. 1) It allows you to easily drain and replace coolant... or 2) add more corrosion inhibitor at some point. Simply turn off the system, take the cap off the elbow, add a few drops of inhibitor and reapply the cap.

B. The CLC's typically have very low volume pumps ... the H100i was measured at 0.11 gpm... whereas custom loops and the OLCs mentioned above are 10 times that. As such, when you get any buildup, the pump does not have the ability to 'push' past it. You should also watch pump rpm and see if that's changing over time.

C. Never read temps in BIOS because you are not in fact "at idle" ... Idle, by definition, is when your system is at no load and Windows power saving measures have kicked in. If you load HWiNFO at startup and look at CPU speed, it will often remain at full OC multilier ... it won't drop down to 800 MHz till after about 5 minutes

Sometimes the AIOs aint any better than air only heatsinks.

Most of the time they aren't... a noctua NH-15D performs better than most AIO - the AIO value comes from convenience and mounting options.

Im seriously considering putting my gtx 1080ti on the Corsair H105 exausting hot air and then getting a thermalright grand macho sucking in fresh air for the cpu.

Reverse the case airflow on the S340 and put dust filters on the back openings..

I have yet to see an AIO that outperformed a comparable priced air cooler. The H100i for example can just about match the thermal performance of a Noctua NH-D15 ($90), Cryorig R1 ($90), Scythe Mugen Max ($37) or Scythe Fuma ($45) but the H100i is 12 times as loud and costs more than all of those.

Heck mine is a slim cooler and handles this 2011/12 arch cpu at 5.0, idle is 43, gaming is 55.
 
I have use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut for my CPU Die and IHS and i test it back then Idle temps like 33c 35c
Max Temp like 56c 60c

and i have monitor it sometimes
no changes found. same as before.
no problem but lately i have updated my Motherboard BIOS

so few days later,today i though just check temp for make sure it is fine.
but i just found it i saw it
Temp is way to high
it go up to 72c
It stay between 60c, 70c temp

and my cooler going crazy
I have Corsair i115 liquid cooler
Fans just speed up automatically
It never do that before.

Can you please tell me whay this happens?

Now Idle stay like 40C :(

I really need you help bios update can do that?


Hi There,


I noticed exactly the same problem around the same time when you had the issue (after windows update/bios update . Since then I cleaned everything/changed the Thermal Compound twice, reinstalled windows, but nothing has solved my issue. Sometimes its working fine if I manually set the pump to performance, and the fans to 40% ...that does the job for a while... but still I am not sure where the problem is.

My Idle is sometimes at 60-70 and sometimes 30-33..... so yeah I have no clue but I can easily reach 100 Celsius :(((


I have an asus z170 Deluxe, I will try to rma the AIO Corsair... the same what you have as well....

I don't want to delid cause of warranty reasons....

Have you solved the issue already?

Hello bro, something similar happens to me but in my case it is the cpu package that was previously between 35 40c and after an update of bios for asus maximus x formulated with my i9 9900k the cpu package increased from 55c 60c in idle and the truth is that it is quite uncomfortable to see those temperatures without doing anything, I want to know if you could solve or if any new update solved your problem, I dislike my English I am using translator. The version of bios I installed was 2203.
 
I had the same issue with my i7-6700k rig, it ended up being air in my H115i which is three years old, they do loose water over time even in a sealed loop,so i cut one line at the radiator and filled it all they way up again and zip tied it back on and the problem went away. I can now push my delidded i7-6700k to 5 Ghz after refilling the aio cooler with temps staying below 70C. I used liquid metal on the die and heat spreader and used Grizzly Conductonaut on the H115i block.

Are you familiar with BIOS settings? Maybe the new BIOS change some settings about idle states of the CPU. Did you do any BIOS setup months/years ago that maybe you dont remember? ...and you have to do them again...
CPU speed(MHz) and Volts are the same before and after the BIOS upgrade? The Windows power plan is the same?
 
Yes, the bios are perfectly handled and the configurations are the same as I have always used, I have a photo of the hwinfo64 of October 13 and the package was 35-40c in idle, after that update to the bios of the asus maximus x formula version 2203, and after this I began to notice the increase in temperature of the cpu package

look at the temperatures even when the clock is at 1000mhz in all cores the package remains the same between 56-60c

I cant come to a speculation let alone conclusion because the photos are not taken at the same load conditions.
At first pic the CPU is idle and the other below (556) is after load... so...
