So..
I recently got myself the Ek Fluidgaming A240 but when stresstesting with prime95 i get up to 84°C on my i5-6600k non overclocked and while gaming it also gets in the 70+ area.
It seems a bit high in my opinion or is it really just so bad?
I looked at some benchmarks and people are getting by far better results than me even with the a240g version.
My room temperature is about 25-27°C and idle temps of the cpu are usually around 30°C
The Ariflow in my case shouldn't be bad either. I got 3 Intakes in the front, 1 exhaust in the back and 2 exhaust in the top with the 240mm rad.
I tried reaplying thermal paste but nothing changed, used different brands as well (EK included and AS5).
So my questions:
Is this normal and I'm just stupid?
What might be wrong?
What can I do to lower temps and overclock?
