Hi guys
I have a strange problem here. I juist bought the P9X79 Deluxe MB along with the 3930k CPU and the H100 to keep things nice and cool. The problem is, my temps at idle are in the 50's so forget about overclocking. This is in a CM HAF 922 case. The case is too small for the fans and the cooler to be inside so I have the fans on the outside pushing air into the case as opposed to pulling air out from the inside. I checked the seating of the block and all seems well but it was very late last night and I may have missed something. I will recheck it and if necessary, re-seat the block...
Does anyone else have this problem???? It seems very strange and either something was missed or the H100 is defective. I know that it's most likely a user error but I'm really trying to figure out why this thing is idling so high. I connected the three pin (which is actually a single pin connection on a three pin adapter) connector to the CPU Fan header and the Molex connectore to the PSU. The three lights on the block light up. I;ve read that I should be hearing a faint sloshing or gurgling noise but I don't hear anything so I'm not sure if I just got a bad cooler or what.
Can anyone please help?
