So I think my Corsair H110i GTX is broken.
Today, the temps on the CPU just climb when not under load.
I've had high temps for a while, but assumed that it was requiring some new thermal paste.
So today, I removed the old paste and put new paste down.
This has just made it worse.
The coolant temp is 47c that is way too high.
CPU temps climb into the 90s and then I shut the PC down.
Pump says it's spinning at 3000rpm.
Fans are spinning at max.
But the air above the radiator is not warm and you'd expect heat to be pushed out of the radiator.
I suspect that there's a flow issue. Something is blocking it all internally. Turning the case around to remove the cooler etc, just probably shifted the blockage around and now the flow has got worse.
So I could try and RMA it, but it's coming up to 4yrs old. I think there's a 5yr RMA on Corsair Hydro products.
Probably best to buy something else.
