cjloki Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 The HeatKiller blocks have a plate inside with little slits in it. I know the only time I ever had a temp problem with mine is when these slits became obstructed. Once I took apart the block and cleaned it, been good to go ever since. Right now it's folding at 100% (i7 2600K @ 4.6) and maxes at 57c. You may want to take your block apart and check. wow rjr, how did you come up with that solution ? ...that's ingenious...!! ... hopefully that that'll fix queenz too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJR Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 wow rjr, how did you come up with that solution ? I tried to increase my flow rate by using a larger pump, when this didn't work it was obvious that something was restricting the flow. That plate was the culprit (dog hair, don't ask ).

Queenz Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Mine didnt come with that jet plate because I opened the block to clean it before I used it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Mine didnt come with that jet plate because I opened the block to clean it before I used it. It should have AFAIK. The whole reason that block works well is the impingement plate... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenz Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I have the Heatkiller LC waterblock. The LC version doesn't come with a jet plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queenz Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Ok after a trillion hours of screwing with everything I almost gave up. But today when I came home from class I decided to take everything apart and have a look over it again. This time paying attention to EVERY single thing. I removed the waterblock and I happened to be looking at the bottom of it. Upon closer inspection I realized that there was barely any thermal paste on the back of the block and most of it was still laying on the CPU. Usually you would see a square outline of the CPU on the back of the waterblock after pulling it up. But on mine there wasn't. After fiddling with the block for a while I came to a conclusion that I never tightened the waterblock good enough so that it has even contact across the whole CPU surface. I was afraid of tightening it too much before. But this time I did. And to my amazement I checked out the temps in Windows and at stock speeds I was idling around 18-19c and around 40 load. So now I overclocked it and these are my temp results. At this speed before I was around 78-80 load. But look at it now!! Sooooo relieved it's finally where it should be at Edited January 26, 2012 by Queenz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Daaaaamn. That's a good OC for that voltage. Glad you figured it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
