Hello everyone,
I've bought the Thermalright 100RH cooler simply for its small factor (not blocking RAM slots), claimed great cooling capacity, and being very low on weight. I didn't know what to expect before connecting it to an Intel 6850K CPU in my new rig.
Not really sure if I'm doing/have done something wrong but my CPU keeps up very hot at Idle and minor load, like in the 59-61 degrees Celsius range. I didn't really dare to benchmark it /push it to its limit for long as I was afraid it will go, so tested it with Aida with the same cooler for 10 minutes only under 100% load. It didn't reach more than 75 degrees with the cooler's fan running at 100%.
Per-core temperatures at idle/minor load in Windows are 45-48 degrees Celsius, CPU is not overclocked, normal clock frequency generally stays below 2GHz, still CPU package temperatures are around 60 degrees. I tested under different CPU fan scenarios as most of the time these reported temperatures are monitored under between 1300 and 1450 CPU fan RPM.
My motherboard is ROG Rampage V Edition 10 with latest BIOS and 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM, running at 3200MHz set directly at its default XMP mode in the BIOS. Most BIOS CPU options are set to Auto with Sync All Cores option and Intel Virtualization Technology on. If I run the RAM at its motherboard's default 2133MHz value CPU temperatures go down by about 8-10 degrees, still they are too hot at idle anyway.
Case (Corsair 650D) is very well ventilated (and with excellent cable management) with room air temperature about 20-22 degrees. I have a M.2 drive installed on the motherboard that keeps 40-41 degrees most of the time, graphics card stays about 29-30 at idle, all other measured components temperatures are lower.
What could be the problem that I'm getting these high CPU temperatures? I'm using Gelid Extreme thermal compound, the cooler makes good contact with the CPU, I even removed the cooler, reapplied thermal compound again, fitted it over again, tested, turned the fan in reverse, but CPU package temperatures remained around the same. These temperatures were measured with Aida, HWiINFO and Corsair Link. Aida is reporting the highest CPU package temperatures (4-5 degrees higher than the others) but the rest of the measured temps by all programs are exactly the same (including per CPU core). OS is Windows 10 but even before entering it, the BIOS reports similar CPU temperature.
The cooler itself is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermalrig...471508&sr=1-1&keywords=Thermalright+AXP+100RH
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
