Path to a Noctua DH15
So the pad arrived yesterday, so I decided to put it on after work. I glanced at my temps and noticed the cpu was idling high at 40, it's normally 30ish this time of year. Put the pad on same thing, looked and nothing was running to peg the CPU. Watched for an hour and now it rose to 60s. Hmm, I thought, must not have seated the cooler right. Reseated it going back to paste same thing. Set the cpu to 3 ghz in the BIOS and turned it of for the night. This morning its idling in the 70s.
Is the pump on my AIO going out? Its hooked to the cpu fan header, and HW monitor shows its running full speed
Wanted to ask here before I order another cooler, in case I missed something simple you guys could point out
