PC Processors

[xoohzen]

Hello,

I just finished assembling my PC. After a few tests, I noticed a temperature of 50-60°C at idle and over 95°C when I launch a game like Call of Duty, for example.

It seems extreme to me.

Do you have any idea where the problem might be coming from?

The BIOS is up to date,
and no, I didn’t forget to remove the plastic from my AIO...

Thank you very much!

What AIO do you have? How is it positioned in the case? Top? Front? Intake? Exhaust? Pics would help.

Hey,

Thanks for your reply. I solved the issue by removing the pump from my AIO. I noticed that the thermal paste pattern was very small, which made me think there wasn’t good contact between the AIO plate and the CPU. So, I cleaned everything up, reapplied thermal paste, tightened the screws better, and now I’m at 35-45 degrees in idle and a maximum of 70-73 degrees under load. (Room temp around 25 degrees)

(The AIO is set to exhaust, the rear fan as well, while the three side and bottom fans are set to intake.)

I still want to thank you for your quick response and your willingness to help.

PS: Here’s a photo of the build.

Good job identifying the problem and glad it was a simple resolution.
