4790k + H100iGTX high temps

[MBrown]

My temps for my set up have gone up pretty high. I noticed when playing BF1 every once in a while, the temps would creep up to 90c. I did some cleaning up of my PC and re-applied thermal paste and I am still getting high temps. I don't have any flow issues in my case. I forget what I have my voltage set to in the bios, but in CPU-Z its 1.32v under load. Is it possible that my H100iGTX could be going bad?

Either the pump is going out, or there could be a clog. 90C is way too high for an H100i. You've already remounted, so I'd consider asking Corsair.

Called up Corsair. Doing an express RMA. Sucks that I have to pay to ship the defective unit back. They should include that as part of the warranty.

Got my replacement cooler. Night and Day difference. Highest I've seen is 68c.

Nice! How long did you have the first cooler for?
