Hello all, I just installed an H105 on my i7-4790k (running stock) and ran Prime95 (small FFTs) and was horrified to see my temps hit 100C nearly instantly. I've got my pump on a fan header set to 100% max (it's running at a solid 1800ish RPM) and my rad fans are on a PWM header (they hit 100% speed as soon as the temps get over 50C). I've read a bit about some of the motherboards being too thin and needing washers, could this be my issue?
The pump was making a slight kind of vibration sound, but it was just the normal sound I hear so often in many cases that sounds like a very slight vibration with either a cheap case or fan. When I touched the pump the ever so slight vibration sound stopped (and the pump is definitely vibrating to the touch, also AISuite shows the pumps fan speed at 1800 RPM so I believe the pump is working). I tried to give all the thumbscrews a slight turn with my screwdriver. I did notice something that could be slightly alarming, there's a space (about an 1/8" gap) between the motherboard and the standoff. I'm going to try to get a better a pic but here's some rough ones for now. Any suggestions?
Here are my specs:
Intel Core i7-4790K
Asus MAXIMUS VII FORMULA
G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400
Corsair Air 540
3 Aerocool DS 120mm in front as intake, 1 Aerocool DS 124mm in rear as exhaust
2 Noctua NF-F12s mounted a pull intake on top
