Recently installed my first AIO, replacing my Coolermaster Hyper 612S. A week or so ago (when it was colder) I was getting low 20s for idle with air and a touch more with the AIO. However my idle temps have been slowly creeping up. As I type this with a load of 15-20%, my temps are between 32-40C, last night it was a few degrees less so something is definitely up. I know it's warmer but a +10C difference seems odd.

In addition, my PC seems to restart during POST. It's only done it twice since the upgrade and in both instances I hadn't turned my monitor on my the time it reset. The RGB on the Kraken seems to revert to a default when this happens and in fact - tuning its lighting on CAM has disappeared altogether. Could it be an installation issue or using the provided thermal compound? I bought AS5 but didn't use in the end.

EDIT - max temps are creeping up. I wonder if remotely logging into the computer is making the clock speed constantly 4.2GHz?
