Hi all. I have had this build for a bit now. I actually got helped here some times ago: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/752833-GPU-for-ASRock-Z97E-ITX-AC

I noticed my PC is making a bit of noise as of late while its running and i don't know why. I decided to use a program to check out the temperature an found that it might be a bit high. I have a water cooler in there and I don't think it should be this way. I was wondering if the smart gurus here can tell me if these temperatures are good or bad and if I should change the thermal paste (original that came with the water cooling block). MANY THANKS!

Screenshots would be best....


Are those load temps or idle? What noises are you hearing? What does your waterloo consist of? Ambient temps?

A lot more information is needed to wrap our heads around your question. ;)

Hi. I am not sure what screenshots you would like but here is what I think you want?.

Temp is like that always I think. I have actually never looked after just turning on my PC, but I have a BOT running in the background always for a game I play so... I dont know. I will deff. look on my next restart.

The noise is like the normal computer noise I guess; but now I hear it a bit louder. I dont know maybe its just my imagination.

My water cooler is: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

The temp at home is 65F at night and 72F during the day. I will also check at night but I am sure its about the same temp.

Sorry for my lack of information I am just not sure what info really is needed. I just was reading online and most recommendations were to change thermal paste.
 
57 idle is extremely high. If you're hearing noises, you need to check your pump on your AIO.
 
If this bot you speak of is putting a constant load on the CPU (above ~40% or so), I'd say that's probably about right. If it sounds like any other computer, just a little louder, I'm thinking you probably have a fan getting ready to go. It could definitely be your pump, though.

You'll have to run the computer with the side panel off, and try to discern which part is making the noise. If it sounds like it's coming from the CPU socket area, it's probably the pump. If it sounds like it's coming from the radiator or one of the normal case fans, it's a fan.
 
TY for all the awesome help guys. I will try a few things suggested above.

This is at 6Am when my house has been at 65F all night, same thing :( :

This is some extra stuff of the bot:

There seems to be a pretty constant load on your CPU. Temps look about right for it too, but there's only one real way to know for sure. With HWMonitor running, start a stress test and make sure that your CPU temps don't go above ~90*C. If they do, shut down the test immediately.

As for the noise, did you try and pinpoint where it was coming from yet?
 
I am going to do that noise on my day off, Sunday :(... I will get back to you all.

How do I do a stress test? Just open a lot of stuff at once? Or is there an actual program that can do that?

Thanks.
 
"blue stacks service" is eating a lot of your cpu. Probably the reason for your temps.
 
I turned it off in the morning. Turned the PC on in the evening and same readings.

Same readings without 30% cpu usage? That means your cooler is broken, insufficient, or installed incorrectly. Pretty safe bet where to start
