I did some searching, but I couldn't find this anywhere, and I'm a bit concerned about the performance I'm getting from my H100i GTX and wondering if it may be a heat transfer issue (if there even is an issue).
CPU:
i7-5820K @ 4.5 GHz (100x45) @ 1.328v core
Ambient: ~22ºC
At 10% CPU usage (basically idle), I'm reading about 30º C across all cores.
Under stress, the temperatures climb to a (what I consider at least) questionable 75-80º C. Specifically Cores 0, 2 and 4 are hitting 80. The others tend around low-to-mid 70's.
In checking my Corsair Link, it shows the water temp at 32º C. That seems low to me given the core temps.
My concern is that the heat isn't transferring properly from the IHS to the block. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, even if they are comments that I shouldn't be concerned. Worth noting is that I reseat the water block a few times with no difference in temps (pea dot method).
