7900x overheating
- Thread starter jammir
- Start date
Was it working ok previous to this? I recently had a h100i v2 pump die and it exhibited the same behaviours. Showing it was moving but temps still high.
Rocking the case side to side bought the temps down for about 15 mins then it began to rise again.

Yeah no change in noise when i move from low to high speed on the pump just sounds the same and the pipe above the logo on the pump is really warm but the lower one is cold, have opened a ticket with corsair.
What could I buy cheap to tide me over until corsair sort out the H100i?

a better cooler? 
I'm running a 7900x (delidded) with a 360mm AIO. Runs nicely and reasonably cool - 26 degrees stock and mid 60s in games. That is with good air flow in the case.
I wouldn't have gone for less than a 360 rad. Maybe see if they would upgrade yours to the H150i Pro or similar.

Manufacturers or resellers only pay for return postage for faulty items if you are still within the standard 14 days CCR (Consumer Contracts Regulations). Once you are outside of that then it is the buyer that needs to pay for this. You probably should realign your expectations with what is reasonable.
I understand they don't have to offer return shipping but for a large pc brand I would expect them to offer this.
You could expect the Russians to admit to using nerve gas to try and kill 2 people on British soil and killing another Russian business man in London but then it would not be a reasonable expectation.
I've been in I.T for over 30 years and I can not remember a company paying to send faulty stuff back to them (outside of the 14 days); Logitech used to send out replacements even before they'd received the faulty item back but I doubt they still do that.
I’ve been lucky enough not to have had the need to rma much computer related items but with all the last 3 companies I’ve dealt with they have provided pre paid shipping labels, evga gpu, Samsung ultrabook and my Microsoft surface. I work with a lot of power tool companies and they all arrange pre paid returns for faulty items.
May just start buying all my stuff from the “rain forest” they seem to pay for any return faulty or not lol.
Anyway at least the system is working now.
Having returned a cpu to Intel before they did for me. Was a 3770k several years ago not sure if the same applies today but Intel paid for collection and delivery of a new cpu after testing when I had to RMA mine.
This was at the time a fair ways out of 14 days and I didn’t even have the receipt for it, they just went off the codes on the IHS.
I'm sure there are many others who might have had similar experiences especially for items still within warranty but this has not been my experience and will not be the norm for the majority of companies, especially in this economic climate. One should count themselves lucky if they came across some one who did this for them but it should not be the expected protocol.
how did you find delidding the cpu, any problems? what paste did you use?a better cooler?

I bought mine prebinned so I can't say sorry - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...e-socket-lga2066-processor-oem-cp-00d-oe.html
I think they use liquid mental.
Watching temps last night playing Vermintide2, I noticed the CPU barely exceeded 50 degrees. This is with everything set to Ultra but I don't know if this game stresses the system much.
