Hi all,

I've recently put together my first new build in about a decade and everything seemed to go pretty smoothly apart from the thread title.

CPU: 9900x
Mobo: MSI MPG B850 EDGE TI WIFI
Cooling: Lian Li HydroShift II LCD-S 360CL

CPU Idle: 50°
CPU after 1min of Cinebench: 95°
Case temps: 30°
Water temps: 25°

I wondered if I had put on too much thermal paste (the generic one that came with the cooler) and after taking the cooler off and checking, yes, i probably did. I've now scraped off most of the excess and only have a thin layer but it didn't do anything to help with temps, if anything they are slightly worse.

I still wonder if it's a thermal paste issue, so I've ordered some Arctic Silver 5, but in the meantime I wonder if anyone else has any thoughts on what the problem could be?

Thank you
 
Are you stock or overclocked?

With a decent cooler at stock settings you should be seeing around 80-85, with less optimal cooling possibly due to case or fan profiles you can see low to mid 90"s.

From memory in an NZXT H6 with a Silent Loop 3 240 AIO the 9900x was around 40/45 just doing internet and stuff, around 80/85 during cinebench, fan profiles were set for quiet with the pump at 75%

Two 140 pure wings in the bottom, and three 120 NZXT intake, 240 AIO in roof and a rear 120mm.

Cannot remember if my lad ran the curve optimizer but I know we didn't manually undervolt or set limits in bios.

What is your case, case fans? Your 360 orientation?
