Okay so I'm just jumping into the section to see if anyone has had the same issue.

So this morning I decided to do a little stress testing to see how hot my cpu was getting currently (I know that stressing will get it hotter than usual). I have a 4770K with a X41, stock fan and Ic diamond as the paste.

I was however shocked when I saw it reaching temps of 90 on one of the cores, with the others not far behind.

I then turned off intel burn test to then hear the fan connected to the x41 ramp up.

Has anyone else had the issue where the pump has not ramped up the fan due to the load on the computer?

If I changed to something like a H100i would I encounter the same problem.
(this is something i'm thinking of doing anyway due to not being 100% happy with the kraken in other regards).

Just take the fans off the unit and connect them to your motherboard direct (if you can) have them speed up with relation to the CPU temperature rather than liquid temperature. You'll always get a lag with liquid temperature due to its mass.

How quickly did the CPU reach 90 degrees though?
