Hi all,
About 6 months ago I bought an i7 930 and stuck a new Corsair H50 watercooler on it. When new the idle temperatures were running around the 20 - 25C region and I was able to OC the CPU to 3.8GHz quite comfortably with the temperatures never going much above 70C. Now however, (back on stock speeds) the idle temp is close to 50C! Something is clearly not quite right here, but as this is the first time I've used watercooling I'm not really sure what I can do to try and bring the temperatures back down.
Any suggestions?
