Hi guys,
I was rendering out an image yesterday and got a warning that my temperatures had exceed 85C and looking at my Asus monitoring software saw that my processor had throttled down from it's 4.4 Ghz to 3.6 Ghz. I pulled open my case and discovered my radiator was covered with a solid film of dust, and using some compressed air to clean things out. The thing is, my temperatures haven't dropped at all though. My rig used to idle at 35 C, whereas now it is 50 C with the two fans set as exhaust on the top of the radiator maxed out at 2600 RPM. Running Prime 95, temps almost instantly hit 90+ whereas they used to hit no higher at my 70 C when I first was doing stability tests and was running the processor at 4.8 Ghz. I have tried reseating the H100i block with no success either. Any ideas on where to look for the cause of the temperature increase? Could my chip have become degraded over the past year? The highest volts it has seen is 1.38 volts at the 4.8 overclock. Thanks in advance for any help!
