I've got a 6700k (Still stock, after BIOS flash and complete gutting/cleaning/rebuild) sitting under a Corsair H1156i 280mm Cooler.
Arctic P14 PWM fans on them. (Good SP fans)
If I stress test the CPU, I can thermal throttle it, at stock speeds. Which is obviously not what a 280mm AIO should do.
Block is screwed down tight, I put on fresh paste before rebuilding. I even put washers on the backplate, due to the looseness of it.
I know it's making decent contact, because at Idle, it's at most 1-2C over Ambient. (Granted Ambient is about 31C right now, but still. I shouldn't be hitting 100C at stock.)
Any thoughts?
